Pentagon Flag = On display in Flag Hall is the garrison flag that draped the west wall of the Pentagon for the month following the 2001 terrorist attacks. On Sept.12, soldiers and firefighters working the recovery effort at the Pentagon unfurled the giant American flag to greet President George W. Bush on his visit to survey the damage. On Oct. 11, 2001 the flag was lowered and folded with full military honors. It now hangs in front of the museum’s second floor entrance in the space where the original Star-Spangled Banner once hung.
