This is 8 out of 12 of my Memorial Day Tribute Pictures for the second day.
-This photograph is of the the three memorial spires range from 201 feet (61 m) to 270 feet (82 m) high. Its array of stainless steel arcs against the sky evoke the image of "contrails of the Air Force Thunderbirds as they peel back in a precision 'bomb burst' maneuver."
-This is the Airforce Memorial in Washington, D.C. located near the Pentagon.
-In January 1992, the Air Force Memorial Foundation was incorporated to make a memorial that would honor those in the United States Air Force. In December 1993, President Clinton signed Pub.L. 103-163 authorizing it. In 1994, the National Capital Memorial Advisory Commission approved the site, down the hill from the Netherlands Carillon, known as Arlington Ridge.
-Here, it has a view of the Pentagon and across the river to prominent structures of Washington, D.C. and part of Arlington National Cemetary can bee seen.
-The memorial was dedicated on October 14, 2006, with approximately 30,000 persons attending.
