Seems fitting to post this for the Independence Day holiday. This memorial park has a wall bearing tiles with the names of all Navy fliers of the EA6B planes who have died in the line of duty. My favorite part of the park are the life-sized bronze statues, commissioned and paid for by friends and families of the fallen:

the children - a tribute to the families left behind

a flier and his mechanic (plane in the background is the EA6B)

Great challenge post. It is nice they included the mechanic. The angle on the children pointing to the names is perfect.
