Art of Bronze was honored to create this spectacular bronze Airforce eagle monument for the Khobar Towers memorial located at the Airforce Enlisted Heritage Hall. Tremendous time and effort went into making the bronze base & sculpture permanently attach to the 8″ wide top of the granite monument.
The monument reads on front-
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 (P) 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 out of the rubble and performing lifesaving aid. Without the incredible bravery of our airmen, the death toll would have been much higher. The individual stories of heroism on that day weave together to form a picture of a tremendous team that embodied everything that is great about the Air Force. We will not forget the heroism, nor will we forget how much they lost on that day.
Heather Wilson
Secretary of the Air Force
