Thank you knighthawk for the list, which shows the diversity of names/ancestry.
Eighteen years later, we commemorate as to never forget all the innocent people who were killed. On 9/11, a total of 2,977 people were killed in New York City, near Washington D.C., and just outside Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
My colleagues and I (our office on Connecticut Ave near DC) watched the smoke rising from the Pentagon. What a helpless feeling.

I’ll never forget the smell. Or the sound of fighter jets flying in anger above our cities.
One of friends was working as a nurse at GW at the time. They worked on some of the victims. She told me that many basically “drowned” on jet fuel.
Another friend’s husband worked at the Pentagon. Luckily he had a dental appointment that morning.
I live under the flight path on Regan, BWI, and Dulles. When the flights were grounded, the silence just really hit home.
