On September 12. 2001
The whole world wept tears of pride as these men and women unfurled the Stars and Stripes from atop the Pentagon's roof, an image that will be engraved into American memory from this time forward. To each of you, for your courage and professionalism--and for helping to turn Arlington's darkest moment into its finest--we thank you.
