The unsung astronaut - Black History Month - MSNBC.com The subsequent refusal by the Astronaut Memorial Foundation to include Lawrence’s name on the Florida memorial seems to have been directly traceable to a reply they received from the Pentagon when, prompted by advice from space historians, they asked about his status. Once high-level officials in the Pentagon saw the strength of the campaign and the depth of the bitterness at the appearance of racist motivations, the Air Force adjusted its criteria to be consistent with NASA’s and deemed Lawrence worthy of recognition on the memorial. Although NASA considers a person an "astronaut" as soon as he or she finishes a yearlong training program, the Pentagon has an entirely different criterion for awarding recognition: to them, an "astronaut" is only somebody who has actually flown to an altitude of above 50 miles. www.msnbc.msn.com /id/6448213/did/7018497/page/3   (786 words)

Jefferson Davis Memorial Highway On May 23, 1946, the BPR's Thomas MacDonald authorized Virginia to erect the 14-ton monument at the intersection of the Jefferson Davis Memorial Highway with the Pentagon Network, then still under construction to serve the Pentagon, which was also still under construction. The Jefferson Davis Memorial Highway was conceived in 1913 by the United Daughters of the Confederacy (U.D.C.). The memorial was justified on the basis that Jefferson Davis, as U.S. Secretary of War before the Civil War, had obtained appropriations and directed surveys for wagon roads and railroads to the North Pacific Coast. www.fhwa.dot.gov /infrastructure/jdavis.htm   (2413 words)

Henry G. Shirley Memorial Highway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This jumble of highways in Springfield, Virginia, where I-395, I-95, and the Capital Beltway meet, is officially called the "Springfield Interchange." It is colloquially referred to as the "Mixing Bowl," but highway officials still use that terminology to refer to the interchange complex at the Pentagon. The road was a four-lane freeway, and it was designated Virginia State Highway 350 from its southern intersection with U.S. Highway 1 north of the Occoquan River near Woodbridge, Virginia and its northern intersection with U.S. Highway 1 near the Pentagon Building in Arlington, Virginia. The Shirley Highway was named in honor of Henry G. Shirley, the head of the Virginia Department of Highways (now Virginia Department of Transportation) from 1922 to 1941, who died in July, 1941, just a few weeks after giving the "go ahead" for work on the new freeway. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Henry_G._Shirley_Memorial_Highway   (627 words)

Henry G. Shirley Memorial Highway With the Virginia Department of Highways planning a highway from Woodbridge to the Potomac River Bridges (the Henry G. Shirley Memorial Highway), an agreement was reached in September 1942 calling for PRA to build the portion from Virginia Route 7 to the connection with the Pentagon network as a defense access road project. This highway was originally I-95, and it was redesignated I-395 in 1977 because of the rerouting of I-95 to the eastern half of the Capital Beltway, done because of the cancellation of proposed I-95 from New York Avenue in the District of Columbia, northward into Prince George's County to the I-495 Capital Beltway.
