A man jumped out of the passenger door with a backpack and sprinted beneath a weeping willow tree. The car drove off. “I’ve got him!” Chris exclaimed. “The asset’s near the Navy and Marine Memorial at Kendall Point.” On Columbia Island along the Potomac River west bank in Lady Bird Johnson Park is a sculpture portraying seven seagulls struggling to fly over crashing waves. The image by sculptor Ernesto Begni del Piatto represents the dangers faced by Navy and Marine servicemembers on the Seven Seas.
