One day there's going to be a military-themed apocalypse movie, and a dramatic showing of this magnifying glass burning through the emblem and into the ground to show how fucked we are.

We will of course, be saved by a single guy who flies his U.S. Space Force Liberty Bomber into the exhaust port of the evil alien over-lord Singularity Class destroyer, or sapient sun, or whatever, in a glorious Independence Day style explosion, which somehow manages to avoid causing serious damage to Earth, despite it literally being an exploding star only a few thousand miles away from us.

Later after the resolution, it'll be repaired and the emblem will include the face of that one guy, with a dramatic heart-felt closing scene with his friends, family, and comrades in attendance.

"Inspired" by a true story with some pre-credit bumps with factoids about how many veterans are eaten by aliens and/or sapient suns each year, to raise awareness of course.

> The Anthem Veterans Memorial, located in Anthem, Arizona, is a monument dedicated to honoring the service and sacrifice of the United States armed forces.

> The pillar provides a place of honor and reflection for veterans, their family and friends, and those who want to show their respects to those service men and women who have and continue to courageously serve the United States.

> The memorial was designed by Anthem resident Renee Palmer-Jones.

> The five marble pillars represent the five branches of the United States military.

> They are staggered in size (from 17 feet to 6 feet) and ordered in accordance with the Department of Defense prescribed precedence, ranging from the United States Army, the United States Marine Corps, the United States Navy, the United States Air Force and the United States Coast Guard.

Edit: This was dedicated in 2011. Space Force was founded in 2019.
