Arlington: Arlington honors the city and county in Northern Virginia, and the 184 victims who died when American Airlines Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon. In naming the ship Secretary of the Navy Gordon England said, "USS Arlington will help America project power to the far reaches of the earth and will support the cause of freedom as we engage in the current war on terrorism. The courage and heroism of the people aboard the flight, and in the Pentagon, will never be forgotten by the American people.” This is the third U.S. Navy ship named Arlington. Steel, taken from the Pentagon after the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks will be displayed aboard. Arlington, Virginia: In 1791, President George Washington commissioned architect Charles L’Enfant and geographer Andrew Ellicott to define the boundaries of Washington, D.C., assisted by Benjamin Banneker, a scientist and surveyor. At the time, federal construction on the Virginia side of the Potomac was prohibited. That area became Arlington, Va., the smallest selfgoverning county in the Continental United States. Its 26 square miles are dotted with memorials honoring our nation’s heroes including the U.S. Air Force Memorial, U.S. Marine Corps Memorial, and the Women in the Military Memorial. More than 300,000 brave men and women from all of our nation’s wars are also buried in Arlington National Cemetery. The Pentagon: The Pentagon, headquarters for the U.S. Department of Defense, is the world’s largest office building, containing 6.5 million square feet of office space. Each day, 23,000 military and civilian employees arrive at the Pentagon to defend the United States. In 1941, with much of Europe controlled by Nazi Germany, President Franklin D. Roosevelt rushed its construction. Ground was broken for the Pentagon on September 11, 1941, 60 years to the day prior to the 2001 attacks. After the attacks, the damaged section of the Pentagon was reconstructed and occupied by Sept. 11, 2002, under the “Phoenix Project.” Bearing the motto “Strength, Honor, Fortitude,” the ship Arlington (LPD 24), like the occupants of the Pentagon, will serve to defend the United States and what our nation stands for around the world. |
