Description
An account of the resource
This tribute to the those who served in the Armored Forces from World War I to Desert Storm is centered around a highly polished black granite panel. On the panel is etched in almost holographic form the image of a man soldier on horseback, a World War I era tank, a scene of World War II era tanks and finally a scene from desert tank warfare. In the upper right corner is a lightening bolt with the words "Forging the Thunderbolt". On the base below the panels is inscribed "A Balanced Team of Combat Arms of Services of Equal Importance and Equal Prestige" which is attributed to Major General Adna Chaffee who is considered the father of American Armored Force. On either side of the panel are low stone walls on which are inscribed the insignias of the branches of the Armed Forces, battalion designations, the companies and regiments that were deployed in combat and maps and descriptions of armored campaigns. This is one of several memorials on Memorial Avenue that leads from the Memorial Bridge to the entrance of Arlington National Cemetery; it is managed by the US National Park Service.
