    A new coffee table book pays tribute to generations of Airmen by recording the art they created in nuclear missile facilities across the country. 

    Released late last year, “The Silent Sentinels” is a 324-page feast of murals, patches, cartoons, poems, painted ceiling tiles, and even song lyrics that capture the lives of thousands of missileers, maintainers, security forces, chefs, and other Airmen who have kept a 24/7 watch over America’s Minuteman nuclear missile fleet since 1958.

    The watch continues to this day, but the Sentinel intercontinental ballistic missile is due to replace the Minuteman III—already more than 40 years past its initial planned service life—within the next decade. The new weapon will require a massive infrastructure refresh, so the replacement plan included an agreement to preserve cultural resources in and around the old Minuteman sites.
