Reports From the Bridge

Something I thought you might like to read.

This is little-known story from the Pentagon on 09/11/2001.

“During a visit with a fellow chaplain, who happened to be assigned to
the Pentagon, I had a chance to hear a first-hand account of an incident
that happened right after Flight 77 hit the Pentagon. The chaplain told me
what happened at a Day-care Center near where the impact occurred.

This day care had many children, including infants who were in heavy
cribs.. The Day-care Supervisor, looking at all the children they needed
to evacuate, was in a panic over what they could do. There were many
children, mostly toddlers, as well as the infants that would need to be
taken out with the cribs. There was no time to try to bundle them into
carriers and strollers..

Just then a young Marine came running into the center and asked what
they needed. After hearing what the Center Director was trying to do, he ran
back out into the hallway and disappeared.

The Director thought, ‘well, here we are - on our own.’ But in about 2
minutes the Marine returned with 40 other Marines in tow. Each of them
grabbed a crib with a child, and the rest started gathering up toddlers.

The Director and her staff then helped them take all the children out of
the center and down toward a park on the Potomac near the Pentagon. Once
they got about 3/4 of a mile outside the building, the Marines stopped
in the park, and then did a fabulous thing - they formed a circle with the
cribs, which were quite sturdy and heavy, like the covered wagons in the
Old West.

Inside this circle of cribs, they put the toddlers, to keep them from
wandering off. Outside this circle were the 40 Marines, forming a
perimeter around the children and waiting for instructions. There they
remained until the parents could be notified and come get their
children.”
