A US Army Band Bugler plays Taps under the shadow of the US Air Force Memorial. The Air Force Memorial structures represent the long history of air and space aviation from the balloon reconnaissance, through Orville Wright’s first military flight at Fort Myers, to the Air Force of today. The Air Force Memorial provides a visual representation of the cumulative history of the United States Air Force. The Air Force Memorial uses design, inscriptions and sculpture to represent the Air Force heritage including those intrepid pioneers in balloon reconnaissance and the advent of manned flight in air and space. The design of the Air Force Memorial symbolizes reaching for the stars, soaring above the earth and executing a bomb burst maneuver, best demonstrated by the United States Air Force Thunderbirds. Our tribute and honor to the Airmen heritage is represented in the 8-foot tall bronze United States Air Force Honor Guard, standing watch over the Memorial grounds.

The steeple of the Old Post Chapel at Fort Myer in Arlington Virginia can be seen rising up through the foliage. This chapel also houses an incredible organ. The Old Post Chapel at Fort Myer, Virginia, is the ceremonial chapel for Arlington National Cemetery. It is used for over 600 funerals and memorial services per year-an astounding number compared to most civilian churches. Most world religions have used the chapel, and nearly every U.S. President has attended services in the Old Post Chapel. Nationally prominent clergy such as Evangelist Billy Graham, Lutheran Hour preacher Oswald Hoffman, and Roman Catholic Cardinals Spellman, Cooke and John O’Connor have presided and preached in the chapel. In addition to funerals, the chapel is used for over 300 weddings and special services annually. In addition to being one of the most used instruments in the country, the organ in the Fort Myer Old Post Chapel is of significant historical value. It was originally installed by the M. P. Möller Company in 1935. Allen Organ Company, in conjunction with Lewis and Hitchcock, Inc. Pipe Organ Company of Maryland, recently completed the restoration and updating of this historic instrument in recent years and the new organ honors service members and veterans in memorial services every week.
