Air Force Memorial

Soaring Spires at the Air Force Memorial

Many visitors to Arlington and D.C. are perplexed by the three mysterious, shiny spires that emerge from the horizon. The soaring sculpture is a 270-foot tribute to the men and women of the Air force. Though often admired from afar, the Air Force Memorial has a grand, inspiring presence when viewed up close. The three arcs evoke modern flight and symbolize the Air Force's three core values: integrity, service, and excellence. You can also take in sweeping views of the Pentagon and the D.C. skyline and explore the site's interactive displays and honor guard statues.
