The Air Force Memorial, dedicated in 2006 features three stainless steel spires reaching 270 feet into the air which represent the contrails of the Air Force Thunderbirds performing a "bomb burst" maneuver. A statue of the honor guard is nearby and a Contemplation Wall as well as a Glass Wall representing The Missing Man flight formation are also part of the Memorial. The site, perched on a hill, offers an excellent vista of Washington, DC. In the summer, The Air Force Band performs frequent concerts on the grounds.
