Through the tireless efforts of the families of the 184 victims of the 9/11 attack on The Pentagon, a memorial has been built. Today is the dedication of that monument, built with private donations right next to the spot where the airplane hit the building.
It must be a terrible and a wonderful day for those families.
Thanks for the link to the story. The Pentagon attack has always been overshadowed by the World Trade Center attack, so it is nice to see it getting some attention as well.
Beautiful article. Thanks for the link.
As I drove up New York Ave. in Washington on Aug 27 (passing through en-route back to Florida from New York), my wife in the passenger seat was looking out her window and asked me, “What’s that huge building?” I got to tell her, “That’s the Pentagon”. Then she pointed to a field of what looked like benches with support at one end on the grounds of the great building and asked, “What’s that?” With a catch in my throat I managed to tell her that was the 9/11 memorial to those who were lost at the Pentagon. She sat silently staring out the window with tears running down her face until she could no longer see them. NEVER FORGET!
