On September 12, 2002, a solemn ceremony was held at Arlington National Cemetery to honor the victims. A single casket, representing all those who perished in the Pentagon attack, was carried on a caisson wagon drawn by six horses to a hill overlooking the rebuilt Pentagon. Hundreds of family members, including those of Yvonne Kennedy, attended the service and filed past the gravesite. This collective burial site is marked by a five-sided granite marker inscribed with the names of the 184 victims, including Yvonne Kennedy. National Museum of Australia
