James Smedmer Dallas Eisenhower, III died peacefully at home with his wife Regina by his side, on Wednesday, August 11, 2021, after a short illness. Born June 24, 1946, in Philadelphia, he spent his childhood in North Wildwood, N.J. In 1964, he graduated from the New York Military Academy, where he reached the rank of Captain and served as drum major. He received a Bachelor of Arts in History from Franklin College, Ind. in 1969, where he was a member of the Theology club and Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity. Mr. Eisenhower served in the United States Marine Corps as an officer and pilot. He received his Juris Doctorate from George Mason University in 1977. He practiced law for more than 40 years in Washington, D.C. and Virginia, taught at Marymount University and served as a mentor to young attorneys.

Mr. Eisenhower was bright and witty, with an all-consuming curiosity about life. Growing up, he spent Saturdays shooting s***t in Dias Creek, N.J. and loved the Wildwood shore. He was a classically trained clarinetist, taught by his father, and played in school bands and community bands throughout southern New Jersey and Cape May County, N.J. He also sang in a barbershop quartet in northern Virginia and played saxophone with The St. Tom Cats in Manassas, Va. He loved a fine cigar and pontificating on the back porch with anyone who would listen.

He is survived by Regina Eisenhower, his wife of 17 years, her three daughters and five grandchildren; his children Katherine Eisenhower and her wife Angela, Matthew Eisenhower and his wife Christine, and Rebecca Eisenhower Leach and her husband Perry; grandchildren Joshua, Nathan, Caleb, Katherine, Leonard, and Andrew; his sisters Elizabeth Eisenhower Wojcik and E. Susanna Eisenhower-Turner, M.D.; his nephew and nieces. He is preceded in death by his parents, James Smedmer Dallas Eisenhower, Jr. and Dorothy Hoffman Fisher.

Interment at Arlington National Cemetery is to be scheduled for a later date.

“Regiment Attention!” (always wanted to say this)

We have action items, things to do:

Immediately, I need minds and bodies that can assist with OCS/LDS with curriculum development and ability to be present to support in mid/late August

Potential help with military leadership curriculum development

Finally, I am going to need alumni to put up money 💰 to support reconstitution of our Alumni Directory. We need $1,500+\- to have AlumniFinder.com update our data. We need this for us and the Academy.

I’m open to talk to any alumni, parent, or friend... but I am calling us to action not debate (that conversation will happen).

Let’s this!

Increase your fundraising results by efficiently staying in touch with alumni and donors, identifying new prospects, and keeping your records up to date.

It's with deep sadness and regret that we announce the passing of Lana Melendez '89.

The conventional wisdom is that there would not be a New York Military Academy right now without Lana's dogged determination and focus in building the NYMA 2.0 effort in 2010. While that was a complete team effort, Lana's leadership helped the coalition of different people and personalities achieve the common goal - saving the school of distinction from an ignominious end.

Lana was many things - a faithful daughter, loving mother, a sister cadet and alumni to us all, and a Soldier in service to her nation. Her service and her many sacrifices on behalf of those she loved and respected will never be forgotten.

While many of us have things to celebrate in our own worlds this weekend - we ask you take a moment and celebrate a life well-lived by this wonderful woman - someone who cared so deeply for all of us and our common bond through NYMA. Say a prayer or raise a glass - but wish her the best in this next journey.
