There are now 141 stars on the CIA's Memorial Wall. The latest star was unveiled at the annual Agency memorial ceremony at CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia, yesterday. The identity of the Agency officer it commemorates remains undisclosed. Family members of the fallen officer and hundreds of relatives of others honored on the Wall were in attendance. It was the first new star to be unveiled since the 140th in 2023. Each star measures 2¼ inches tall by 2¼ inches wide and half an inch deep; all the stars are six inches apart from each other, as are all the rows. The stars are carved Alabama marble, in the entrance hall of CIA headquarters, opposite the statue of William "Wild Bill" Donovan, director of the OSS, forerunner to the CIA. Beneath the stars is the Book of Honor, in which 108 names are inscribed; 33 of the stars officially remain anonymous, though 20 of those have been identified publicly. The Memorial Wall, created in 1974 with an original 31 stars, is revered within the Agency; officers who are retiring often linger as they pass by it for the final time, touching the stars. Outside the CIA, the Wall has attained iconic status, featured in documentaries, movies, and television series. The Wall has been featured in the movies The Recruit (2003) and 13 Hours (2016), as well as the episode 36—“The Star” of the TV series Homeland (2013). Johnny Micheal Spann, the CIA's and America's first casualty on the battlefield after 9/11, was commemorated by the 79th star.
