Then we heard a loud bang and our building shook. That was truly scary. We went to the roof of our building and saw smoke filling the air. We are only a few miles from the Pentagon, but we had no idea what was hit. Then the radio/tv started reporting that other parts of DC were hit. These proved to be untrue later, but you can imagine how afraid we were. We couldn’t leave, because the roads were jammed. Then, Aldo, our owner pulled us together and just said that the best we could do was continue on and stay together. We did get through that day.

Now 6 years later, it is time to remember again and put in our hearts those that lost their lives on this day.
