Pentagon Memorial, Memorial monument in Arlington, United States
The memorial features 184 illuminated benches arranged across two acres of landscaped grounds with flowing water and maple trees scattered throughout the space.
The Pentagon Memorial opened in 2008 to commemorate the lives lost during the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 at the Pentagon and American Airlines Flight 77.
The memorial benches are positioned according to the birth year of each person who died, creating a timeline that connects multiple generations affected by the events.
Visitors can access the memorial through the Pentagon Metro station on the Yellow or Blue Line, with the site open daily from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM.
Each memorial bench contains a reflecting pool of water that glows with illumination at night, with those facing the Pentagon representing victims inside the building.
