Description

Completed in 1943, the Pentagon is associated with events and people that have shaped America's geopolitical role in the post-World War II period. In the decades since its construction, the Pentagon has become an internationally recognized symbol for the United State's emergence as a military "superpower" and is closely linked to the our Nation's national defense establishment. -- National Historic Landmark statement of significance, October 5, 1992
