21 Prince William County residents lost their life in the attack on the Pentagon. There is a peaceful memorial to them at Freedom Park, Prince William County Government Center in Woodbridge.
The base of the fountain is in the shape of the Pentagon, the two fountains represent the World Trade Center, the site is flanked by Pennsylvania flagstone and there is a piece of stone from the Pentagon. There was a memorial service there this past weekend.
There was a second event that went unnoticed in the local media. Members of three religious congregations met on Saturday night in the spirit of peace, respect for each other's belief and a commitment to work for a safe and secure America. They were
- Congregation Ner Shalom
- Dar-Alnoor Islamic Community Center
- Covenant Presbyterian Church
Arthur and I came away with one sense. We are all loyal Americans with a single purpose - peace and security for all of us. There was an initial event earlier this year.
