The U.S. Air Force "star" is embedded in granite beneath the spires. The memorial also has a paved Runway to Glory at the entrance, an 8-foot-tall bronze Honor Guard statue, two granite inscription walls, and a Glass Contemplation Wall for visitors to pay tribute to fallen Air Force service members.The U.S. Air Force Memorial was designed by James Ingo Freed, the internationally renowned architect who also designed the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. The project was funded almost entirely by private contributions totaling more than $30 million.A gift shop is in the Administrative Office at the north end of the memorial in the same building as the restrooms.
