State Dept. adds 71 historical names to plaque honoring on-duty foreign service deaths Gillian Brockell © Sarah L. Voisin/The Washington Post Among the 71 new names on the Memorial Plaques at State Department headquarters is that of Moses Hopkins. Jason Vorderstrasse was carpooling to work with other Foreign Service officers in Hong Kong when he heard about the grave. A colleague mentioned visiting a nearby military cemetery and being surprised to find the headstone of a U.S. diplomat. Curious, Vorderstrasse went to see it for himself. The grave belonged to F.R. Engdahl, who died in 1942. That was strange, he later recounted, because Engdahl’s name wasn’t on the Memorial Plaques at State Department headquarters in Washington, which honored about 250 in the Foreign Service who have died on duty.
