Pentagon 9-11 Memorial

Today I went to visit the September 11th Memorial at the Pentagon,which was open to the public on Sept. 11, 2008. This memorial was designed to remember the victims of the Sept. 11, 2001 tragedy. The following pictures will give you a sense of the the beauty and solemnity of this memorial.


Each cantilevered bench is dedicated to three 9-11 victims, with a reflecting pool of water beneath each bench.


At night, each reflecting pool is illuminated, making a beautiful, surreal impression on the viewer.
