Trivia
- The song that plays while users are on the site is Ghosts of Reach.
- Noble 6 is missing from the monument. This is likely due to the fact that 6's appearance is dependent entirely on user choice.
- There is an error on Emile's portrait, his Kukri and the shotgun shells on his forearm are on his left side, not his right. This could have been done to avoid them being hidden behind Carter-A259.
- This memorial also signifies in which order Noble Team's deaths are.
- Everyone's paragraph ends with "Noble".
