Pentagon Memorial Opens

The Pentagon Memorial was dedicated and opened to the public in a solemn ceremony before thousands of servicemembers and civilians Sept. 11, 2008. The memorial honors the 184 people who lost their lives in the terrorist attacks here seven years ago when Flight 77 was flown into the south side of the Pentagon. The ceremony featured speeches from the president, secretary of Defense and other senior officials.
