The Pentagon Memorial

During the tragic events of September 11, 2001, 184 lives were lost in an instant at the Pentagon, located in Arlington, Virginia. The design for a Memorial Park, to be dedicated to the victims of the attack, was selected in 2003 from over 1000 entries. Following a Dedication Ceremony earlier in the day for invited guests only, the Pentagon Memorial will open to the public at 7 p.m. on September 11, 2008. The Navy Band and the Sea Chanters Chorus will perform a musical tribute from 7 p.m. until 9 p.m. on an adjacent stage in honor of the public opening.
