Pentagon 9/11 Memorial
September 11, 2001, started like any other day. Sadly, it would not end that way.

Standing at more than 555 feet and ⅝ an inch high, it still towers above all others in our nation’s capital today. How appropriate — for it pays tribute to a giant on whose shoulders our nation stands.
