A Nation Remembers, The Story of the Pentagon Memorial

"A Nation Remembers: The Story of the Pentagon Memorial" is a one hour television special and DVD hosted by actor Gary Sinise. Segments of this new program were played during the Official Pentagon Memorial Dedication Ceremonies on 9/11/08, and nearly 20,000 copies were distributed as a gift to the dignitaries in attendance.

Through the production and release of an hour-long documentary of “A Nation Remembers: The Story of the Pentagon Memorial,”  45 North Communications, an Ann Arbor, Michigan based production company has produced the official story of the building and dedication of America’s first national 9/11 Memorial. 

The Pentagon Memorial itself serves as both a reminder and a place of healing for the nation and for those whose lives were reshaped by the events of September 11, 2001.

As such, it is an issue of national importance that as many Americans as possible are able to join in the remembrance and tribute this Memorial offers, but the fact remains that most will never have the opportunity to see these grounds first hand. It is, therefore, an altogether fitting extension of the Memorial to take a piece of that sacred ground directly into the homes of millions of Americans through the powerful media of television and Home DVD.

The Pentagon Memorial Documentary Special does just that. This one-hour television special and extended Home DVD is shot entirely in beautiful High Definition video footage, and features an original score by Emmy Award winning composer David Barrett. The program spotlights the Pentagon Memorial, in all stages of construction through completion, as a backdrop for telling the stories of the men and women who gave their lives, and the families who lost so much. “A Nation Remembers” features original interviews with the President of the United States, the Vice President of the United States, Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, Senator Joe Lieberman, Former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Richard Myers, and surviving family members and friends - all interwoven with a stirring narrative designed to tell the highly personal stories of those who sacrificed while offering viewers the broader context in terms of great themes from the American story. The film is intended to serve as both a lasting tribute and a means of preserving history for generations to come.
