They that came before us. We are here today because of them. We are proud to descend from their lineage and protect this great nation. A legacy that will live on as long as an American can shoulder a Rifle and take up a Hatchet to defend this proud Republic.
This landmark erected with funds and donations by the John Fitzgerald Kennedy Special Warfare Center, Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines of the Special Operations Community, and their associations.
Cache was a word in the Special Operations Community long before the Morrow Project was envisioned. In the fervency of the Cold War many contingency plans were conceived, written, then abandoned as unfeasible. From out of nowhere the right equipment came at the right time to make it all work. Cryosleep tubes could preserve the warriors. Other techniques could keep them equipped and supplied.
Contingencies have contingencies. Plan A has a plan B. This is one such contingency. Starting in the 1980s with the plan to emplace A teams in cryosleep, several modes to equip them to fight a guerilla war on American soil were engaged.
There always exists the possibility in Special Operations that all goes wrong, sideways, less than expected, into a sh*t sandwich. That calls for SF Personnel to break contact and run. Abandon anything but each other and allies, to break and run. From experience in WW2 and since the SOF from American and Allied units learned to emplace material, captured or supplied) to re-equip themselves and get back into the fight.
Each of these statues exists as a marker for a SF cache. There can be probably one in any small town, and more than one in any medium or large city. The cache is under the statue but the entrance is buried beside it. These are not specific to anyone A Team. All of them know what to look for should they need it. This is not a large cache by any measure. It will only provide what a SF soldier could carry on their person as a fighting and sustainment load. Typically a rifle or smg, a pistol, web gear, and a rucksack with sleeping system, cooking equipment, assort clothing, medical supplies. There isn't anything in the cache that needs a battery. All was emplaced as quickly as possible and assumed to be in place for 20+ years.
