The Wall of Valor: Every S.H.I.E.L.D. facility has a memorial to the agents lost in the line of duty. S.H.I.E.L.D.’s history can be traced on walls like this.
This genuinely makes me upset because S.H.I.E.L.D. didn’t exist at the time that Bucky died?? Like, the organization was created at least a year after his death.
Which means that Peggy Carter posthumously made Bucky a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent in order to honour his sacrifice dON’T LOOK AT ME.
I’m here for Peggy honouring Bucky. Fighting anyone who tried to prevent her from doing so. Being there when his name was carved into the stone and then on the official ceremony, openly crying and not giving a damn about assholes looking at her with pity. Peggy Carter going afterwards to a bar, sitting alone at the table and mourning her boys.
