four be, i had breakfast in the pentagon -- for me, i had breakfast in the pentagon and left 20 minuteso for the plane hit. i remember getting back to my office on capitol hill and a policeman comes running through the halls saying, get out, get out, there is another one coming for us. and people streamed out into the streets not knowing what was happening, how many attacks there would be, or who might be affected. i remember going to new york a couple of weeks later, and the smell of the twin towers, which were still smoldering, is one of those smells that you could never, never forget. i keep a couple things in my office to help reminded me of that day. flagf them is a little ribbon. i was given this a few days after the attacks of 9/11 when some of us went back over to the pentagon to honor those who lost their lives in that attack. but with this little ribbon, i also keep on my shelf in my office, a dog tag that was given to me by the parents of sergeant gary johnson from texas. he died defending the country against terrorists in 2007. but it is one reminder to me that a lot of brav

it's down beneath the floors of the pentagon.ng it up to full man came from tragically the blast site where the aircraft who hit the pentagon came in, so their lives were actually spared. on that day i lost 85 army teammates. we lost more people in the army headquarters on that day than we have lost on any single day in the wars we've been fighting for the last 15 years. the army operations center looks like something you see on television with screens floor to ceiling. we were monitoring all the activities that took place that day. some of the most intense activities when those five airplanes that you recall were unaccounted for and vice president cheney -- and this was being done sequentially, ordered those airplanes taken down and i thought to myself and i said to the secretary of the army who was sitting next to me, i said oh, my god, can you imagine what's going through the mind of those pilots. they're going to kill hundreds to save thousands and those hundreds will be largely innocent people. but fortunately we made visual
