Victims of Terrorist Attack on the Pentagon Memorial

The Pentagon Memorial features 184 granite benches arranged by age, each containing an engraved name and a pool of flowing water underneath.

On September 11, 2001, American Airlines Flight 77 struck the Pentagon at 9:37 AM, resulting in the deaths of 125 people inside and 59 passengers.

The memorial includes an Age Wall that rises from three inches to seventy-one inches, representing the span of lives lost during the terrorist attack.

Visitors can access the memorial through Arlington National Cemetery's pathways, with dedicated tours and educational programs available throughout the year.

Each bench position indicates the victim's location during the attack: when reading names facing the Pentagon, they died inside; facing away, they were on the flight.
