On September 11, 2001, the world changed forever. At the Pentagon, 184 lives were tragically taken. But what emerged in the aftermath was something remarkable. First responders, neighbors, and citizens of every kind rallied with compassion, bravery, and an unyielding sense of unity. Their actions became part of our shared story.

You may already know about the National 9/11 Pentagon Memorial, where people come to reflect on each of the 184 lives lost. But many visit without understanding the full story. That is why we are raising money to build the Visitor Education Center. This center will be a place where every visitor can hear the stories of the victims, understand how the world responded, and see how life in America changed forever.

Today I am asking you to join us. When you give to the Pentagon Memorial Fund, your gift supports:

• The Education Center at the Pentagon Memorial, making sure people who come in years to come see more than memorial pillars and names, they feel the stories behind each name.
• Programs that teach young people what truly happened, helping them understand how 9/11 shaped our laws, security, and the way we take care of each other.
• Keeping the memorial site open and accessible so that every visitor can quietly remember and learn.

Every gift matters. Even a small contribution helps move us closer to completing the Visitor Education Center. Imagine the difference it makes if thousands of people like you commit to this mission.

Please consider making a gift today.
