Former 8th graders visited the Pentagon Memorial last year on the Washington D.C. trip. The memorial is dedicated to the 184 people who died at the Pentagon due to the hijacked American Airlines Flight 77 plane crash. Eighth graders were given a card with the name and biography of one of the people who lost their life and were asked to find their bench and remember them as a way to recognize the sacrifice that was made to protect their freedom.
