The #CIA Officers Memorial Foundation (@ciaomf2001) supports the well-being and educational needs of children and spouses of fallen #CIA officers.
The Third Option Foundation heals, helps, and honors members of #CIA's paramilitary community and their families. Quietly helping those who quietly serve.

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.
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
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
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.”
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
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.
