What are plans for memorials at the Pentagon and in Pennsylvania?
Victims in the Pentagon attack will be remembered outside the massive Defense Department headquarters by a grove of trees, 184 lighted pools and benches engraved with the names of those who died. The two-acre memorial will be 165 feet from the point of impact, directly along the flight path taken by the jetliner that was crashed into the building. The benches represent those killed in the building and in the hijacked jetliner, excluding the hijackers. The National Park Service will lead a federal commission in designing a memorial at the Shanksville, Pa., crash site. President Bush has ordered the design be completed and delivered to the Interior Department and Congress by 2005. A design competition will begin next year.
