9-11 Memorial Window

Here's an item from a military journal about a memorial stained glass window for the victims of Sept. 11, 2001. The window was commissioned by the Chaplain Corps to be installed in a small chapel on-site at the Pentagon, near where it was damaged in the attacks.

The article explains:

Dennis E. Roberts, artist and owner of IHS Studios in Fredricksburg TX, donated the piece. He said he was honored and privileged to be able to help create something to remember the victims of the attacks, especially considering his own military service.

Roberts spent more than 50 hours designing and more than three weeks cutting some 500 pieces of glass to fit into the frame. There are 184 red pieces representing the 184 men and women who were killed at the Pentagon.
