"During the Cold War period of 1945-1977, a total of more than
40 reconnaissance aircraft were shot down. The secrecy of the
reconnaissance programs prevented recognition of the slain
military personnel at the time of the incidents. Their loss was
mourned by their fellow soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines in
similar programs, but the fallen could not be accorded public
honors. The end of the Cold War has allowed the United States
to lift some of its security restrictions concerning the
reconnaissance programs, permitting us at last to accord due
recognition of the achievements and sacrifices of these intrepid
military personnel, and to tell their stories. "
