Christy Wheeler, retired Navy Commander, spoke at noon Rotary this past week. She gave a detailed perspective of what her experiences were on 9/11 at the Pentagon. While the loss of life that day of 125 Department of Defense employees was high, the toll could have been much higher considering 10,000 people who work at the building. The sector that was hit was undergoing renovations so was lightly occupied. Further, the building was so solidly constructed that the plane only penetrated the bottom two floors. Individuals on the top two floors escaped before the building collapsed.  Although Christy was uninjured on that day, she still feels the impact of that plane and the tragedy of that day.
