On day 5, we visited the Pentagon Memorial that honors those who died during 9/11. Each person who died during the attacks was given a bench/wing which displays the name and year of birth. Some people had personal connections with this attack. Some had friends/relatives who either came close, experienced, or witnessed these attacks. When you walk into this memorial it is very quiet, yet very powerful. After departing from the memorial, we listened to a song called There are No Words. This was written about the attacks and when listening to it, it stirred many emotions. There was hardly a person who didn’t shed a tear. The attacks didn’t destroy this country but reaffirmed who we are as Americans.
