The Basics

Designed by architects Julie Beckman and Keith Kaseman, the National 9/11 Pentagon Memorial commemorates victims of September 11th in the Pentagon and aboard American Airlines Flight 77. In addition to the illuminated benches, each of which is a tribute to an individual victim, the memorial also features an “Age Wall,” which begins at three inches high and climbs to 71 inches, in tribute to the age range of the victims. It is shaded by 85 crape myrtle trees, which will grow up to 30 feet (nine meters) high.

The National 9/11 Pentagon Memorial is one of the capital’s highlight memorials; it can be visited as part of numerous history-themed tours of DC.
