Somber Day at the Pentagon

It's a somber day at the Pentagon today as on this, the 7th anniversary of 9/11/01, officials are unveiling the memorial dedicated to the 184 victims who lost their lives there.

The memorial consists of 184 bench like structures, one dedicated to each of the victims. The names are inscribed on each bench pointing either toward the Pentagon or toward the western sky, depending on whether the person died in the Pentagon or was aboard the plane as is crashed.

The height of the benches ranges from 3 inches to 71 inches, the height of each bench corresponds to the age of the person it honors.
