Late autumn at Catrigg Force, a hidden gem of a waterfall discovered by chance so shot on my compact 7700.
Soldiers and Airmen from the U.S. and Italian military gathered to test their athletic abilities during the first Annual Camp Darby Armed Forces Olympics Sept. 10.

ABOUT THE MEMORIAL
The United States Air Force Memorial honors the service and sacrifices of the men and women of the US Air Force and its predecessor heritage organizations. It was dedicated in October, 2006. The Memorial also honors the more than 54,000 Airmen who have died in combat.
The Spire Design
- Featuring three stainless steel spires that soar skyward, the Memorial’s design is truly
representative of the Air Force and is intended to evoke flight and the flying spirit.
- The three spires also represent the three core values of the Air Force - Integrity first,
Service before self, and Excellence in all that is done. Equally important, they represent
the Air Force’s Total Force––active, guard and reserve—which are all essential to getting
the mission done.
- Finally, the three spires are reminiscent of the precision “bomb burst” maneuver
performed by the United States Air Force Thunderbird Demonstration Team.
- The highest of the Memorial’s spires ascends 270 feet, with a second spire soaring 231 feet, and a third spire at 201 feet.
- The base of the Memorial is approximately 132 feet above sea level, meaning that at its
highest point, the structure stands 402 feet high.
Each spire is constructed of a ¾ inch plate stainless steel skin with a core of
reinforced concrete.
- The Memorial was designed by James Ingo Freed, internationally renowned architect of Pei Cobb Freed & Partners. Mr. Freed is widely recognized for designing the U.S.
Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington D.C. and other prominent structures
throughout the U.S.
- Global engineering firm Ove Arup & Partners worked with Pei Cobb Freed & Partners in
the development of the Memorial’s spire structure.
- Embedded in granite beneath the spires is the USAF "star," which has had a long
tradition of gracing Air Force aircraft and missiles, and is central to the rank insignia of
every enlisted member of the Air Force.
- Other key elements of the Memorial include a paved Runway to Glory at the site
entrance, a bronze Honor Guard statue, two granite inscription walls located at either end of a parade ground area and a Glass Contemplation Wall depicting the “missing man formation,” a final tribute paid to fallen airmen.
- Internationally renowned sculptor Zenos Frudakis sculpted the Memorial’s bronze Honor Guard. The 8 foot tall, four figure sculpture is reflective of all “airmen,” those men and women presently serving, those that have served, and those that will serve.

My husband and I staked out the perfect spot to catch Air Force One as it left Jacksonville,Florida. It was very cloudy but we got a perfect view as it flew right over us! Pretty neat!
