Paying tribute to 174 American Heroes and the six units that have made the ultimate sacrifice for our Nation.
The memorial also pays tribute to the eight men that were killed on the daring hostage rescue mission in Iran in 1980. These men had the “Guts to Try” and this mission was the genesis of JSOC.
Artifacts incorporated into the JSOC memorial
1)Sand/Pebble from the DESERT ONE crashsite. Encapsulated and placed in the foundation wall of the memorial. Donated by pilots from Operation Eagle Claw.
2)WTC Steel. The swords on the JSOC Emblem are forged from WTC Steel, donated by FDNY. These swords are forged by an alumni of the command.
3)Pentagon Limestone from the remains of the Pentagon attack on 9/11. This stone forms the foundation on which the JSOC emblem rests.
4)Soil/Rock from United Flight 93 crash site. This soil fills the Pentagon cavity that the JSOC emblem rests on. Always reminding us of the patriotism and heroism of Americans….. “Let’s Roll”

You are correct Eric.
Larry,
Thanks for pushing this out to your followers. Let me know how to contact you – I’d like to talk to you about this memorial and possibly ways to collaborate. My phone is 910-568-6127. I was at the unit from 2000-2011 and remember you from your days in CDD. Hope all is well. Tony
wait a minute,
Why are 9/11 components being Incorporated?
Why are service members of the Army Navy etc being treated differently than the rest?
This seems perverted
nobody take this bait
