We got the chance to talk with the executive director of the Eisenhower Foundation, Meredith Sleichter, about The Eisenhower Legacy Gala going on this weekend.

She then goes on to talk about the award ceremony that will take place at the gala.

The Legacy Gala is a sold-out ticketed event where members of the Eisenhower family, community and political leaders, and donors from across the nation gather to pay tribute to Dwight D. Eisenhower.
