The Signal Cove of Remembrance is a tribute to all the fallen men and women of the U.S. Army Signal Corps (Soldiers, Civilians, and Contractors) who perished in the Pentagon on 9/11, on the battlegrounds of Southwest Asia in Operations ENDURING FREEDOM and IRAQI FREEDOM, and during contingency operations since. Non-Signal Soldiers, assigned to support Signal units during these operations, are also featured in the Signal Cove memorial.
