The first stop Lily and I made after arriving was the Pentagon. The centre of one of the many US Government security agencies (don't really know which one – I don't ask questions to people armed with machine guns) was highly secure. You can't really do anything at the Pentagon except walk through the memorial for those who lost their lives in the September 11 attack on the Pentagon. It was a very unique memorial. They had a bench water feature for each victim, arranged by their year of birth. The saddest moment was seeing the bench for a little boy who was born 1998 (making him a mere 3 years old at the time).
