LIMITED PUBLIC ACCESS TO PENTAGON MEMORIAL ON SEPTEMBER 11, 2012

Public access to the Pentagon Memorial will be limited on Tuesday morning due to a private ceremony commemorating the 11th anniversary of the 9/11 attack and visitation of the site by survivors and surviving family members. The memorial will be closed to the public on Sept. 11 from 5 a.m. until noon.

While the memorial is normally open to the general public, visitors are asked to plan around this scheduled closure.

The Pentagon Memorial is designed so that the nation may remember and reflect on the events that occurred on September 11, 2001. The Memorial is free and open to the public seven days a week. Groups and individuals are welcome in the Memorial daily but guided tours are not offered; the Memorial is meant to be experienced on a more personal level.
