Retired Army Chaplain (Col.) Larry Racster was one of the approximately 400 chaplains and chaplain assistants who assembled the glass for the Pentagon Memorial chapel’s central window in the year following the 9/11 attacks. The window is designed after the five-sided survivor’s pin given to the Pentagon survivors. Its imagery is rich in meaning: the American flag and bald eagle as enduring symbols of the Nation, gold panels as signs of hope, and an olive branch representing the Department of War’s mission to preserve peace and justice.
Around the outer edge, 184 red glass pieces honor each of the lives lost that day, with 125 inside the Pentagon and 59 aboard American Airlines Flight 77.
