National 9/11 Pentagon Memorial

The National 9/11 Pentagon Memorial is located on North Rotary Road just southwest of the Pentagon in Arlington. It is a permanent outdoor memorial to remember the 184 people who died during the 9/11 attack on the Pentagon: these people include those who were in the building at the time of the attack as well as the passengers on American Airlines Flight 77.

The memorial was designed by Julie Beckman and Keith Kaseman and opened on September 11, 2008. Sitting on just under two acres of a landscaped park with approximately 85 paperbark maple trees, the memorial consists of 184 illuminated benches arranged by the ages of the victims.
