Washington D.C.

Visited the Pentagon Memorial this afternoon.

Each bench represents a person either on the plane or on the ground, killed when the plane hit. What is wonderful about the design is that there is no separation between civilian and military. The benches are positioned such that you read passenger names looking toward where the plane came from and the Pentagon employees names looking toward where the plane hit, but they are positioned by age only. The youngest at one end and the oldest at the other.

The names of the individuals are on the side of the benches and there is a small circulating pool of water under each. Very moving visit.
