U.S. Air Force Memorial

Officially dedicated on October 14, 2006 by President George W. Bush, the U.S. Air Force Memorial stands in Arlington, Virginia, across the Potomac River from Washington D.C. This place of remembrance is marked by three striking stainless steel spires that soar to a height of 402 feet (122.5 meters). The memorial’s design evokes the precision and power of flight, with the spires representing the Air Force’s reach and its core values. Visitors can walk around the site, taking in the imposing structures and reflecting on the service and sacrifice of Air Force personnel.
