While I was in DC I visited the Pentagon Memorial Park for the first time. This site honors those who died when one of the terrorist planes crashed into the Pentagon. Each of these "benches" represents one of the 184 people who died ... 125 in the building and 59 on the plane (not counting the terrorists, of course).

Some DC Photos

Washington DC is an awesome place. If you look past the horrible traffic, the self-important wannabes and the partisan crap, you get the Capitol of the Free World. All of the famous buildings, monuments and people you hear about are here. The icons are accessible and photogenic. Here are a few samples from my day trip today. I live an hour away; I really should do this more often.
