The Patriots’ Memorial The Patriots’ Memorial honors the twenty-one Defense Intelligence Agency employees who died in the service of the United States. The memorial lies at the center of the Defense Intelligence Analysis Center (DIAC) at Bolling Air Force Base. The Patriots’ Memorial commemorates the profound individual sacrifices made on behalf of the United States by DIA members and acts as a reminder of the selflessness, dedication, and courage required to confront national challenges now and in the future. DIA Director Lt. Gen. Leonard Perroots dedicated the memorial on 14 December 1988. The stories behind the names in the memorial are themselves monuments to the bravery of those who served in harm’s way. Major Robert Perry was the Army Assistant Attaché in Amman, Jordan in 1970. He was killed when fighting broke out between the Jordanian army and Palestinian refugees who had taken shelter in Amman. In June, a Palestinian gunman shot Perry through the front door of his house in front of his wife and children. After the incident, the United States considered sending troops to Jordan on a contingency operation to quell the violence, but the fighting subsided a few days later. In April 1975, a U.S. Air Force C-5A Galaxy transport plane carrying 250 Vietnam War orphans crashed outside of Saigon, killing 100 of the children and many others. Among the dead were five female employees of the Defense Attaché Office in Saigon — Celeste Brown, Vivienne Clark, Dorothy Curtiss, Joan Prey, and Doris Watkins — who assisted in tending the children. After takeoff, the plane’s cargo doors blew off, damaging the hydraulic lines in the tail. The pilot tried to make an emergency landing, but the aircraft crashed two miles short of the runway, crushing the cargo deck of the aircraft. DIA also lost seven employees to the September 11th terrorist attack on the Pentagon. Rosa Chapa, Sandra Foster, Robert Hymel, Shelley Marshall, Patricia Mickley, Charles Sabin, and Karl Teepe died in the attack. 42 Defense Intelligence Agency
