The Memorial Wall is a memorial at the Central Intelligence Agency headquarters in Langley, Virginia.[1] The wall is located in the Original Headquarters Building lobby on the north wall. There are 140 stars[2] carved into the white Alabama marble wall,[3] each one representing an employee who died in the line of service.[1] Paramilitary Operations Officers (PMOO) of the Special Activities Center comprise the majority of those memorialized.[4]
