184 benches spread evenly across this open field,
each representing one person who died at the Pentagon on September 11, 2001.
Every day these two men are here ensuring the Pentagon Memorial looks the same as when it was dedicated one year ago.
With a mat in tow, Lucas Gusman walks the memorial, flattening the rocks and gravel.
The significance of his job is not lost on him or those visiting the memorial.
A lot of people have got family right here, you know?
They told me thank you very much for working right here
and I'm very happy when the people say that.
Sometimes when you see some people crying when probably they remember the family that they lost,
William Guevara shines and polishes the steel on the benches.
He says even he gets caught up in the emotions that visitors experience.
sometimes you feel how they are feeling when they remember the family that they lost.
Those emotions are hard to describe.
Sad.

I've been in the Air Force for eight years, so I know.

This means a lot.
And with Gusman and Guevara working each day to keep this place clean,
the Pentagon Memorial will continue to help the memories flow.
