Just outside NSA HQ, as part of the National Cryptologic Museum (Open to the public https://www.nsa.gov/about/cryptologic-heritage/museum/) is an area called "National Vigilance Park." It contains a USAF C-130A aircraft, an Army RU-8D Seminole, and a Navy EA-3B Ranger. All three represent aircraft that were shot down or lost with all crew members aboard while conducting reconnaissance missions. You can read more about the aircraft and see photos at: https://www.nsa.gov/about/cryptologic-heritage/vigilance-park/

On "second thought," my brother, James R. (Buck) Jones, earned the title, "United States Marine;" a title he wore well and with pride for the remainder of his life.

At Gettysburg, the statue of Father William Corby, Chaplain of the Irish Brigade as he blesses the soldiers of the Brigade as they prepare to attack on the second day (2 July) of the battle. The brigade then went into the Wheatfield. The Irish Brigade consisted of 3 NY Regiments; 63rd, 69th, 88th and the 28th Massachusetts and 116th Pennsylvania. The statue was erected in 1910 and it was the first non-general statue placed on the battlefield. The statue stands on the same granite stone that Fr. Corby stood on in 1863. Father Corby later went on to serve 2 separate terms as the president of the University of Notre Dame.

A similar statue of Father Corby is on the campus of the University of Notre Dame. Many Notre Dame alumni, especially football fans have given it the name 'Fair Catch Corby'.

I don't know if this is my favorite, but I just discovered this memorial to those KIA in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Sorry for it being upside down. This is the rock right in front of the dog tag display in 1LT Nathan Band's picture up above.

It is an experience everyone needs to be a part of - here was the one with my Dad June 7th, but it won't be the last! I'm going to take my daughters there to show them where I'll be buried one day!

Great question COL Mikel J. Burroughs. Personally I like the Three Soldiers statute next to the Vietnam Memorial, in fct I have a copy of it on my desk. Where is that one you included? I have not seen it but it speaks a million words!

Striking memorial. I was stationed at Bethesda when it was dedicated. My roommates and I had gone in to Georgetown to party a bit and decided to trek over and see it on that day. Needless to say our mood changed and we went home.
Back then you'd find ribbon bars, copies of old military manuals, etc laying at the feet of these Soldiers.
