The Cold War Memorial

"The Cold War did not have the dramatic intensity of World War II. But it was just as real and just as dangerous. Though often clandestine and subtle, it ranged worldwide, cost many lives, evoked much heroism and lasted what seemed like forever. Considering the stakes, the scope and the suffering, this was a struggle that surely deserves commemoration. Let us build a monument to it. Let the President call for the building of a Cold War memorial. If he won't, Congress should." Charles Krauthammer

 

 

 

"During the Cold War period of 1945-1977, a total of more than 40 reconnaissance aircraft were shot down. The secrecy of the reconnaissance programs prevented recognition of the slain military personnel at the time of the incidents. Their loss was mourned by their fellow soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines in similar programs, but the fallen could not be accorded public honors." Gary Powers Jr.

 

 

 Our company values and mission remains the same as in 1978.
