Virtual Tour of the CIA The CIA Memorial Wall On the right as you enter the Original Headquarters Building lobby is a memorial wall that was commissioned by the CIA Fine Arts Commission in May 1973 and sculpted by Harold Vogel in July 1974. With the simple inscription "IN HONOR OF THOSE MEMBERS OF THE CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE SERVICE OF THEIR COUNTRY," this wall of 78 stars stands as a silent, simple memorial to those CIA officers who gave their lives for their country. The glass-encased Book of Honor below the stars lists the 43 names which, in death, can be revealed. Framed on each side by the American Flag and the Central Intelligence Agency flag, this memorial immortalizes these anonymous few who served and sacrificed in silence.
