Virginia is helping fund a multimillion-dollar center to preserve survivor and first responder accounts from the Pentagon attack, officials said.
- This week, the Pentagon Memorial Fund is scheduled to break ground on a Visitor Education Center in Arlington, Virginia, to educate future generations about the impacts of the terrorist attack.
- Outside the military's headquarters sits the Pentagon Memorial, which features 184 benches to honor each victim of the attack that occurred 25 years ago.
- The center will feature 12 interactive exhibits detailing the timeline of the attack and personal stories. "It's for the generations that were not there," said Joe Kornhoff, executive director of the Pentagon Memorial Fund.
- Retired Arlington County Fire Department deputy fire chief Michael Gowen recalled the difficult search and rescue efforts: "Unfortunately, there were a lot of people in there that just, they died where they were at."
- Once completed, the project fulfills a long-standing promise to ensure the events are never forgotten. Kornhoff noted, "We remain the only site that doesn't have that dedicated visitor education center aspect.
