CIA Memorial Wall, Memorial monument at CIA headquarters in Langley, United States.
The white marble wall displays 140 stars carved into stone, each measuring 2.25 inches in width and height, arranged in regular rows six inches apart.
The Central Intelligence Agency commissioned this memorial in May 1973, with sculptor Harold Vogel completing the installation during July 1974.
The Memorial Wall contains a black leather-bound Book of Honor listing the names of CIA officers who died while serving their country.
Located in the Original Headquarters Building lobby, visitors can observe the wall during authorized guided tours of the CIA facility.
Some stars in the memorial represent unnamed officers whose identities remain classified even after their deaths due to national security requirements.
