A visit to the Pentagon Memorial

With the recent opening of the Pentagon Memorial, I had the chance to go see it this weekend while my mother was in town visiting. I must admit, this is the first memorial that affected me emotionally—partially because I was living here on 9/11, but also because the benches add a human element to the loss that took place at the Pentagon seven years ago: each bench represents one human life that will never return.
