Patriots Memorial
The Defense Intelligence Agency’s (DIA) Patriots Memorial was dedicated in 1988 by Director, Lieutenant General Leonard Perroots to commemorate the profound sacrifices made by individuals on behalf of both the agency and the United States of America. Prominently positioned in the DIA Headquarters lobby, it serves as an ever-present reminder of the selflessness, dedication, and courage required to confront our nation’s challenges.
Today, golden honeycombs carry the names of twenty-five extraordinary patriots who gave their own lives while executing missions to safeguard and secure the lives of others. The story behind each engraved name is a true testament to the dedication and bravery of those who served in harm’s way. These individuals exemplify the priceless cost of freedom and will forever be remembered for their faithful and selfless service to the nation
