Paula Newman stood at the base of the Air Force Memorial, all she could say was, “Wow!” Senior Airman Henry Hargrove said it “pretty much rocks.” The two 11th Logistics Readiness Squadron Airmen from Bolling Air Force Base in Washington, D.C., were selected to visit the memorial and receive a tour from the president of the Air Force Memorial Foundation, retired Air Force Maj. Gen. Edward F. Grillo, Jr. “It’s fantastic to see their enthusiasm,” General Grillo said. “I never get tired of seeing people’s eyes light up when they see it, and once it’s done, we’re going to see a lot of that.” The target completion date for the Air Force Memorial is Oct. 14. Originally, the memorial was going to be built on Arlington Ridge, near the Marine Corps Memorial. Instead, it is located across from the Pentagon, next to Arlington National Cemetery. “It’s obvious a lot of work went into our memorial with all its symbolism and details,” Sergeant Newman said. “It looks over the nation’s capital and reminds people that the Air Force is up there. It gives me a sense of pride.” The two Bolling AFB Airmen toured the site and climbed up the temporary scaffolding to look at the city from the memorial’s point of view. The memorial represents several sets of threes within the Air Force, General Grillo said. “The Air Force has its three core values,” he said. In addition, there are the active duty, Guard and Reserve. photo by Tech. Sgt. Cohen Young There are also the Airmen, their families and retirees.
