Pentagon 9/11 Memorial

USA / Virginia / Arlington /
 memorial, park
The Pentagon 9/11 Memorial was dedicated on 9/11/2008.

The Pentagon Memorial, built at a cost of $22 million, features 184 memorial benches that glow at night, as well as trees and trickling water elements. Each bench is dedicated to an individual victim, and the structures are organized as a timeline of the victims' ages, moving from the youngest, 3-year-old Dana Falkenberg to the oldest, John D. Yamnicky, 71.

It was the first official memorial to open at any of the three 9/11 attack crash sites. The other two, the New York City WTC site and the Flight 93 Memorial in PA are still under construction more than a decade after the attacks.
