This is a little-known story from the Pentagon on 09/11/2001:
There was no time to try to bundle them into carriers and strollers. Just then a young
During a visit with a
fellow chaplain, who happened to be assigned to the Pentagon, I had a chance to
hear a first-hand account of an incident that happened right after Flight 77 hit
the Pentagon. The chaplain told me what happened at a daycare center near where
the impact occurred. This daycare 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.
Marine came running into the center and asked what they needed. After hearing
what the center director was trying to do, he ran back out into the hallway and
disappeared. The director thought, 'well, there 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 near the Potomac and the Pentagon. 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.
Remember Ronald Reagan's great compliment: "Most of us
wonder if our lives made any difference. Marines don't have that
problem."

God Bless the USA , our troops, and you.
2 Chronicles
7:14 says "if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and
pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from
heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land."
It's the Military, not the reporter who has given us
the freedom of the press.It's the Military,
not the poet, who has given us the freedom of speech.It's the Military,
not the politicians that ensures 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.
