The Air Force Memorial

Entrance to the new memorial

For the past two years we had been admiring the new Air Force Memorial near the Pentagon as we cruised along I-395 going into DC. From a distance we were impressed with it. The design was very simple and yet it was very dynamic. It made us think of planes taking off into the wild blue yonder. I had always wanted to see it close-up so we went to take a look at it today.

Seeing Andrea here gives you an idea of how tall the spikes of the memorial actually are.
