AFM reserves the right to review, edit, move or delete any material submitted as a comment or placed on this page, or block users, without notice. Comments submitted to this page will be reviewed and inappropriate comments may be deleted at the sole discretion of the AFM.

We hope to receive submissions from everyone, but we ask that all participants agree to:

• Please post only information about or related to AFM.

• Refrain from posting questions that contain threats, obscenity, material that would violate the law if published here, abusive, defamatory or sexually explicit material.

Submissions containing the following will be deleted:

• Contains obscene or threatening language or discrimination (hate speech) based on race, sex, gender, religion, national origin, age, or disability.

• Promotes services or products (not including non-commercial links that are relevant to the topic) including SPAM!

• Includes any personal or sensitive information (phone numbers, email or postal addresses)

• Operational Security (OPSEC). All personnel (including families and friends of service members) have a responsibility to ensure that no information that might put our military members in jeopardy or would be of use to our adversaries is posted to websites that are readily accessible to the public.

Not surprisingly, that information includes, among other things:

− technical information

− operation plans

− troop movement schedules

− current and future locations of military units and ships

− descriptions of overseas bases

− details of weapons system

− discussions of areas frequented by service members overseas

− Other information that's not as obvious but should also not be discussed in an open forum includes daily military activities and operations, equipment status, unit morale, and results of operations. Any of these topics, if released in an open medium, have the ability to provide our adversaries opportunities to harm our military members.

Thank you for your interest in and support of the AFM.

  • What an amazing sight. You can see this from most anywhere in D.C. The pillars are 400 ft high. This location also offers some great views back to the city. It has some information scattered...

  • This is very close to one of my kids homes, so it was an easy decision to stop to see it. Of course, it is a towering memorial, so you can see it from afar, but it was impressive to see up close

  • Air Force has always been my favorite branch, mostly because of the Thunderbirds! We saw this unique structure on our first day in DC. We happened to be going by the Pentagon, trying to get to the memorial, but it was already closed. Saw this right up the hill and didn’t know what it was. Drove up to it and fascinated to find out it is a newly constructed memorial. Really enjoyed seeing it up close and in person. Loved having accessible bathrooms. Excellent memorial - can’t wait to see it after the whole thing is completed!
  • We loved this beautiful memorial to the Air Force. The impressive three stainless steel spires are up to 270 feet tall and can been seen from afar. They evoke the contrails of the Air Force Thunderbirds. The place also provides excellent views of the city.
