The event was planned for May 8, the 75th anniversary of the day Allied forces declared victory in Europe during World War II. Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kan., and two of Eisenhower’s grandchildren were scheduled to speak.

• Military Child of the Year awards gala, set for April 2, has been canceled. A virtual event will be held later.
