Fallen Heroes 3 inch bronze medal


The medal's obverse depicts the rebuilt façade of the Pentagon where Flight 77 crashed.  The angle of view is the angle of the flight path.  A single candle and a small bouquet of flowers and greens signify a sacred memorial at the site.  The American flag flies overhead in a united and patriotic embrace. 

The reverse features 184 stars on a raised border around the edge of the design, one star for each of the victims of the tragedy.  The inscription reads:  WE HONOR THOSE ON FLIGHT 77 AND THOSE IN THE PENTAGON WHO PERISHED ON SEPTEMBER 11, 2001.  WE WILL NEVER FORGET THEIR SACRIFICE AS WE UNITE IN MEMORY.  The design also features a bald eagle standing sentinel and clasping branches of laurel signifying an eternal honoring of those who perished in the tragedies. 

The obverse and reverse of the Pentagon medal were designed and executed by Ms. Hemphill.
