==Production notes==
===Discrepancies===
The memorial has several conflicts with later media. For example, [[Preston Cole]]'s date of birth is listed as April 4, 2484, when he was canonically born on [[2470|November 3, 2470]].<ref>'''''[[Halo: Evolutions]]''', page 415''</ref> The memorial also lists [[Michael Stanforth]]'s birthday as July 3, 2486, which would mean he was an admiral at the age of seventeen, suggesting that it too is an error. [[Admiral]] [[Margaret Parangosky]] is listed on the memorial, even though she was not killed in the [[Human-Covenant War]] and plays a crucial role in the subsequent [[Kilo-Five Trilogy]]. Since all ONI personnel who had appeared in canon at the time of the game's release are listed on the memorial, one may assume that their commemoration on the memorial is an Easter egg instead of canonical evidence for their deaths.
 
===Trivia===
The memorial introduced the retconned length of the [[Fall of Reach]] (beginning July 25 instead of August 30, 2552), which would later inform the story of ''[[Halo: Reach]]''.


==Trivia==
*One of the names in the left plaque is Chen Agu, possibly a relative of the [[ODST]] [[Kojo Agu]].
*The monument also shows that ONI believed that [[Catherine Elizabeth Halsey|Dr. Halsey]] was killed on [[Reach]], when she actually is alive in the [[Micro Dyson Sphere]] inside the [[Shield World]] [[Onyx]] as of November, [[2552]].
*The memorial incorrectly lists [[Preston Cole]]'s date of birth as April 4, 2484, when he was in fact born November 3, [[2470]].<ref>[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]], page 415</ref>
*On the left plaque, it says that they gave their lives for the human race, while on the right it says they gave their lives for the [[UNSC]].
*Many humorous names, such as London Bridges, can also be found on the plaque.
