My brother was working in the Pentagon, due to be transferred to Whiteman AFB on 9/30. He asked to be transferred one month early, to get his kid in school, etc. They let him go.
He was almost there that day. Right after 9/11, they called him back to the Pentagon and he was there for almost 2 years after. Now he’s retired.
Hubby was in the AF for 26 years. His retirement came through on 8/30/01. He didn’t get called back. (Whew!)
A couple near misses for my family!
We all have 6 degrees of separation to 9/11.
