The Pentagon, September 13
An overall aerial view, two days later, of the impact point on the Pentagon where the hijacked American Airlines Flight 77, a Boeing 757-200 entered, breaking up in the process. The impact destroyed or damaged four of the five "rings," in that section of the building. That section of the Pentagon was in the finishing stages of a renovation program to reinforce and update the building. Fire fighters fought the fire throughout the night. The huge American flag visible to the right of the damaged area is a garrison flag sent from the U.S. Army Band at nearby Fort Myer, Va. It is the largest authorized (20’ x 38’) flag for the military. 3rd Infantry soldiers and fire fighters unfurled the flag over the side. Each night floodlights illuminated it. DoD photo by Tech Sgt. Cedric H. Rudisill, USAF
Aftermath
Days after the terrorist attacks on American soil, the towers of the World Trade Center (WTC) sit as a pile of rubble in the streets of New York City. The rescue and recovery efforts continue, with tons of debris slowly removed from the site. The view is to the south, the World Financial Center (WFC) towers – American Express (pyramid), WFC tower two (dome) and WFC tower 1 (Oppenheimer, Dow Jones). Governors Island in Upper New York Bay is in the background. DoD photo by Staff Sgt. Michelle Leonard, USAF

Countless words have been written about the attacks of September 11, 2001, and what followed them. But not today. Today there are only the captions for the images, and the stark figures that do no justice to what was lost: 2,977 dead; 246 on the four aircraft, 2,606 in New York City in the towers and on the ground, and 125 at the Pentagon. May they rest in peace. We will never forget.
