Today we held our annual Memorial Ceremony to honor the courageous CIA officers who died serving their country.

Four new, historic stars were added to the Memorial Wall; two honor officers whose names & contributions must remain secret.

The other two stars honor Lieutenant John W. Creech & Daniel C. Dennett, Jr., who perished in 1947 when their plane crashed in bad weather.

John & Daniel worked for the Central Intelligence Group (CIG)—the immediate predecessor to CIA.

#InMemoriam Image
Director Haspel: “We honor the men & women of this Agency who perished in the line of duty. The cause to which they devoted their lives—the freedom & safety of Americans—endures.”

#InMemoriam Image
CIA’s Memorial Ceremony began in 1987 & is attended each year by 100s of employees, retirees, & family members of the heroic officers who died in service to their country.

There are now 133 stars on the wall.

Dear DCRoadTripper,

CIA #Museum is not open to the public, so you can’t come here in person. However, Washington DC is home to @smithsonian’s wonderful museums [free & open to the public!] & 2 museums run by our colleague’s @FBI & @NSAGov.

#AskMollyHale
If you contact your local congressional representative, you can look at arranging a tour @FBI Headquarters of its exhibit, The FBI Experience: bit.ly/2F5oPWE

And @NSAGov has its very own National Cryptologic Museum: bit.ly/2FbzuiK

#AskMollyHale
As for CIA, although you may not be able to visit our museum in person, we do have the next best thing: We can open our virtual doors to you!

75 years ago, #OSS Jedburgh paratroopers parachuted into Nazi-occupied Europe to coordinate arms & supplies, train partisans in sabotage, & help defeat Third Reich during #WWII

The 1st Operation #Jedburgh team was deployed the night before #DDay

bit.ly/2wFHFPD

#DDay75
More than 90 #Jedburgh teams parachuted into France in 1944.

Once in, they would meet up w/local resistance groups, providing an essential link between guerrillas & Allied command.

One of the most famous Jedburghs was William Colby, who would later become CIA Director.

#DDay75
A #Jedburgh team consisted of 2-4 men: US #OSS officer, British #SOE officer, & Free French, Belgian, Dutch or Canadian soldier.

Jedburghs trained in:
- amphibious ops
- skiing
- mountain climbing
- navigation
- radio ops
- hand-to-hand combat

This week, the iconic 1960s #TWA Flight Center designed by legendary architect Eero Saarinen reopened as a hotel @JFKairport in New York.

Before achieving fame as a master of American 20th-century architecture, Eero worked for #OSS, our #WWII spy agency.

bit.ly/2muiNWl ImageImage
During #WWII, Eero was recruited to #OSS & appointed Chief of Special Exhibits Section.

He designed:
- Military schools & situation rooms
- 3D org chart instrumental in showing procedure & work-flow problems throughout #OSS
- Model weapons for training & film props Image
OSS considered Eero “the most versatile & gifted young designer & architect in this country.”

His work for #OSS was highly commended by Undersecretary of War, Director of Women’s Army Corps, & many others.

His OSS experience & experiments are reflected in his later design work. Image
