It was a profound honor for Art of Bronze to be selected to create this powerful bronze eagle sculpture for the Khobar Towers Monument, located at the Air Force Enlisted Heritage Hall. Designed as a lasting symbol of vigilance, strength, and remembrance, the eagle stands atop the monument with its wings fully extended, gazing steadfastly forward in solemn tribute.
Exceptional care and craftsmanship went into engineering the custom bronze base, which was precisely designed to mount securely onto the narrow 8-inch-wide summit of the granite monument. Rising to over 14 feet in height, the granite structure elevates the eagle high above the grounds, reinforcing its commanding presence and symbolic guardianship.
Beneath the eagle rests a laser-engraved bronze medallion bearing the words “Never to Be Forgotten,” encircling a finely engraved eagle head—an enduring reminder of sacrifice and resolve.
The front of the monument is inscribed with the following dedication:
June 25, 1996
This day signaled to the Air Force and our nation that we were at war with a determined and evil enemy. It was the opening salvo in what would become a much greater conflict.
The Khobar Towers attack was a story of courage, sacrifice, and honor. Every airman who died in that attack and every member of the 4404th Wing (Provisional) who responded so heroically is an American hero. When the bomb went off, we lost 19 great airmen, and the lives of hundreds more were changed forever.
Immediately after the attack, America’s airmen sprang into action—pulling comrades from the rubble and providing lifesaving aid. Without their extraordinary bravery, the loss of life would have been far greater. The individual acts of heroism on that day form a powerful testament to teamwork, courage, and everything that is great about the United States Air Force.
We will never forget their heroism, nor the sacrifices made on that day.
This memorial stands as a solemn tribute to those who served, those who were lost, and the enduring spirit of courage that defines our nation’s airmen.
Heather Wilson
Secretary of the Air Force
