Remembering 911 at the Pentagon Memorial | Portland Maine News

At the Pentagon Memorial, 184 benches face either the building or sky, honoring each victim of 9/11 — a silent water feature pauses at 9:37 AM to mark the moment of impact. Drawing a million visitors yearly, it’s a place of quiet resilience and remembrance. Joe Kornhoff, whose mother survived the attack while inside the Pentagon at age 15, now leads efforts to preserve this legacy. A new Visitor Education Center will break ground on 9/12 — the day after the 25th anniversary — to ensure generations remember those lost, turning grief into enduring strength.
