The Pentagon Memorial, recently completed outside the Pentagon, is one of several memorials to those killed at the Pentagon in the September 11, 2001 attacks. In the aftermath of the attacks, there were numerous impromptu memorials in areas around the Pentagon. When the damaged section of the Pentagon was rebuilt, the America's Heroes Memorial (a small memorial) and chapel were included, located inside at the exact spot of the Flight 77 impact. The Pentagon Memorial is an outdoor memorial containing 184 benches etched with the name of each of the victims from the Pentagon crash; it is scheduled to be dedicated today, and will be open to the public. Another memorial to victims of the Pentagon attack is located in Arlington National Commentary. The site of the memorial will be the first actual 9/11 Memorial; law enforcement function for the memorial falls under the jurisdiction of the United States pentagon Police.
