Pentagon Memorial (The) Arlington, VA (part of Washington Guide)

The Pentagon Memorial is being constructed in the memory of the citizens killed in the 11 September 2001 terrorist attacks in the US. It is scheduled to open to the general public on 11 September 2008, with a performance by the Navy Band and the Sea Chanters Chorus. The 184 memorial units are segregated to distinguish the victims on board American Airlines Flight 77 from victims within the Pentagon. The maple trees surrounding the memorial add to the serene atmosphere. Truly, a sincere tribute to the citizens, who came from different walks of life and were victims of terrorist activities.
