A scene from the Pentagon Memorial. (Facebook/National Pentagon Memorial)
President Barack Obama is giving a memorial speech at the Pentagon on the 15th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
However, the Pentagon attack is sometimes overshadowed by the attack in New York and over a Pennsylvania field. It’s important to give equal remembrance to those who lost their lives in the Pentagon.

Who died in the Pentagon on 9/11? How many lost their lives?
According to the National 9/11 Pentagon Memorial, “One-hundred-and-eighty-four lives were lost at the Pentagon that day. They were men, women, and children. They were mothers and fathers, husbands and wives, sisters and brothers, daughters and sons. They came from all walks of life: administrative assistants, doctors, educators, flight crew members, military leaders, scientists, and students. They came from towns and cities, large and small, across the United States and around the world. The youngest was only three years old; the oldest, 71.”
The 184 total does include the passengers on the hijacked airplane that crashed into the building.
It took less than one year to repair the damage to the Pentagon building, the memorial says, but the lives lost will have ripple effects forever.
