Did you know this about 9-11?
AFTER FLIGHT 77 HIT THE PENTAGON ON 9/11, TFOLLOWING HAPPENE A
chaplain, who happened to be assigned to the Pentagon, told of an
incident that happened right after Flight 77 hit the Pentagon on 9/11.
A
daycare facility inside the Pentagon had many children, including
infants who were in heavy cribs. The daycare 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
backout into the hallway and disappeared. The director thought, "Well,
here we are, on our own."
About
2 minutes later, that 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 the park nears the Potomac ..
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.
The
chaplain then said, "I don't think any of us saw nor heard of this on
any of the news stories of the day. It was an incredible story of our
men there. There wasn't a dry eye in the room.
The
thought of those Marines and what they did and how fast they reacted;
could we expect any less from them? It was one of the most touching
stories from the Pentagon.
It's
the Military, not the politicians that ensure our right to life,
liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. It's the Military who salutes the
flag, who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the
flag.
If
you care to offer the smallest token of recognition and appreciation
for the military, please pass this on and pray for our men and women,
who have served and are currently serving our country, and pray for
those who have given the ultimate sacrifice for freedom.
God Bless America !!!
