The 9/11 Memorial: Haunting and Beautiful

Most horrific events leave memorials in their wake. These memorials do their best to recreate feelings during the actual event. There are many ways to do this, but some end up doing this more powerfully than others. Like the 9/11 Memorial at the Pentagon.

The scenery was both haunting, and, at the same time, beautiful. It had a very solemn air to it. The time of day also added to it. We got at the memorial right at twilight, so lighting was dim, night beginning to show. All of these things, combined together, made for a very moving and powerful event arguably just as memorable as the original event.
