Because the day wasn't long enough yet, we tried to stop at the Air Force Memorial. I keep promising Jonah next trip we will. Turns out, since it's the birthday of the USAF, the AF band was there giving a concert and there was no where to park (according to the security guard.) Major bummer since they sounded great and I'm sure the kids would have loved the concert.
So we hit the Pentagon Memorial as our last stop. Incredible to think it's been 13 years (yesterday). Such a beautiful memorial, but so heart wrenching. We learned the oldest person was born in 1930, and the youngest 1998. So the ages of the 184 who lost their life there were between 71 and 3. We really have had so little tragedy in our country, compared to other counties, but it's still so frustrating to think of senseless deaths.
