The Pentagon Memorial was the first memorial built in memory of the horrific tragedy of 9/11
At night the memorial is like a glowing light pool. The age wall "grows" in height as it goes up and shows the huge range of ages, 68 years from the youngest to oldest. The memorial unit looks as though it is floating above the light pool below it like it is "frozen" in place. A design competition was held to choose the design of the memorial. Photography is prohibited everywhere on the Pentagon reservation except in the memorial itself. The government of Taiwan donated 1 million dollars for the memorial. |
