General Dwight D. Eisenhower's pair of General Stars, awarded on 27 March 1942 and later gifted to Brigadier General Madelyn Parks by Mamie Eisenhower, as she became Mamie's personal nurse later in life. Stars are elegantly framed to a royal blue mat with an autograph letter signed by Mamie to Parks, dated 18 September 1975. Reads in full: ''Dear General Parks - In going over some of General Eisenhower's insignia the other day I came across these stars he had worn. Thought you might like them as extras. I too was happy! Could be in Washington for your ceremony. Best of luck. Fondly, Mamie Eisenhower''. Also with an LOA from General Park's niece. Stars measure 1'' each. Near fine condition.
