9/11 Memorial at Pentagon

Join together with the community and attend the annual 9/11 Observances at the Pentagon. Listen to speeches from our national leaders and touch the engraved names of the 184 victims. There is a memorial unit for each of the victims, and each has a bench, a lighted pool of water and a permanent tribute. The benches are made of stainless steel and granite. This simple and striking memorial was the first national memorial to commemorate the victims from 9/11. –RD / pentagonmemorial.org/explore/design-elements
