 There was a bit of a rumble. You can hear the plane coming. It frightened us to the point where it instinctively made us duck. At this point, somebody's yelling through the hallway. Pentagon's been hit. Pentagon's been hit. Yeah, stop all the parkers. Looks like it went into the Pentagon. On September 11th, Tuesday morning, I started my day as normal by going to the gym. When I left the gym, I went back to my office assignment at a building outside the Pentagon. While there, I was watching the news. We all were watching the news and discussing what would we do if it occurred here. 30 minutes later, a plane flew over the building. Seconds later, we heard the explosion. An explosion was huge. It was huge. Couldn't feel it, but it was just so loud. There was a heck of a transition from being a calm, mellow day to all of a sudden excitement. We evacuated the building. We get outside. We discovered that the traffic was stuck in Ridlock. So we ran to the Pentagon on foot. And as we were approaching the Pentagon, we saw the fire building mostly smoke. There were there were signs of light poles being knocked down along the way. As we were running down, we could see the light poles knocked off. We could see the plane parts on the ground and spread out all over the place. There were just people running through the parking lot, screaming, yelling, frightening. Although this occurred, although I'm watching it, I see everything going on. I still couldn't believe it. My mentality at the time was just about getting in there and helping wherever I could help. I didn't know what to do specifically. I just filled in where I could feel it. I would say that that's when Secretary of Defense came down. When he came down onto the crash site and physically went and helped someone onto one of the gurneys, that's the site that I would not forget. It was very touching and moving and to see our leader on the ground with us was powerful. And this country is strong. This country is resilient. This neighborhood, this community, outside this neighborhood is strong. And when we have attacks like we did on 9-11, we continue to come together.
