Pentagon, Arlington, Va. (Sep. 11, 2002) – Local elementary school children watch as the Honorable George Bush (left), President of the United States and the Honorable Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of Defense render honors at the unfurling of the National Ensign, and the playing of the National Anthem, during the Sept. 11th, 2002 Observance Ceremony. More than 13,000 people attended the service to honor the 184 America’s heroes who lost their lives one year ago when terrorists crashed a commercial airliner into the Department of Defense headquarters. Elementary students, who lost classmates, and teachers aboard American Airlines Flight 77, recited the “Pledge of Allegiance” following the National Anthem. The service was conducted on the southwest corner of the Pentagon where the attack took place, now known as the “Phoenix” reconstruction site.
