I first learned of "The Pentagon Memorial Park" project back in June 2005, when I met Abraham Scott, then on the Board of Directors for the planned memorial. Abraham lost his beautiful wife, Janice Scott in the attack on the Pentagon. Abraham was to speak & I was performing " God Will Prevail - The Victim's Anthem" for the first 9/11 Memorial Dedication in Green Bay, Wisconsin, the Pen-t Memorial.
That evening, I performed along with various other performers in a free concert to the families & friends, at the famed Meyer Theatre in Green Bay.
Afterwards, Abraham asked for more cds to bring back to the other Board members, to possibly consider having me perform that song or others when the Pentagon Memorial would be finished & dedicated.
Several years had gone by & I had seen Abraham a few more times, always seeing that loss in his eyes, and, having seen it over & over in the family member's eyes of all the 9/11 victims after performing for them by request for the 5th Anniversary events at Ground Zero in 2006.
Then, late 2006, we went to D.C. for the first time...and, flying in...there below me, was the Pentagon. I had such an overwhelming sense of loss. Thoughts of all those I'd met who'd lost their loved ones came rushing over me.
In late 2007, I revisited the website for the Pentagon Memorial to see how the project was progressing...I found myself suddenly overcome with such grief. As I sat at my piano, all my thoughts & feelings came to life, in song..." Meet Me In The Park " was born.

My original thought was to dedicate the song to Abraham's wife. However, that very night....I received a message from Shelia Flocco whom I had never met, she had lost her son, AG2 Matthew Michael Flocco at the Pentagon.
I began searching for everything I could read about Matthew, and, as a mom...my heart just broke for this her, her husband, her family & friends, and, for Matthew. I then knew, God was leading me to dedicate the song to this young man, who had so much life ahead of him & was such an inspiration, his life, service & sacrifice will NEVER be forgotten.
The song is also dedicated in memory of ALL 184 precious souls who perished that fateful day at the Pentagon.
May God hold them in HIS loving arms, and keep their family & friends in HIS tender care, until they meet again.
Sept. 13, 2009...we were requested by the Army to perform honors for the Walter Reed 100 year events in Washington, D.C., sounding Taps for the wreath laying ceremony at Walter Reed's graveside at Arlington National Cemetery.
Graciously, our Army transport driver also took us to the Pentagon Memorial. I finally was able to pay my/our respects to Matthew & all those who perished, before later heading over to the Vietnam Memorial Wall to again pay respects in honor of my cousin, SP4 Guy Lamar Mears, Jr. - KIA - Vietnam, Oct. 17, 1970.
On behalf of "Bugles Across America" & a grateful nation, Larry sounded LIVE Taps at Matthew's memorial bench at the Pentagon Memorial.
May this video always be a reminder of Matthew & each precious life represented there & may we NEVER FORGET!
In HIS service,
Susan D. Wiseman - " The Tribute Lady "
