Where It All Began
The CIA Officers Memorial Foundation was created in December 2001 to honor CIA officer Johnny Micheal Spann, the first American killed in the line of duty in Afghanistan responding to the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 and all those CIA officers who gave their last full measure in service to the Nation since the founding of the Central Intelligence Agency.
George Tenet, Jeffrey H. Smith, Richard Helms, and Jack Downing establish the CIA Officers Memorial Foundation to honor Mike Spann’s devotion to his country and that of the other CIA officers who came before him and those who sadly were certain to follow.
