This looks very much like the pictue on the cover of the latest Marine Corps Gazette, published by the Marine Corps Association at Quatico, VA.

Quoting from their webpage: Marine Corps Gazette

"At 0945 on 11 September a highjacked Boeing 757—American Airlines Flight 77 bound originally for Los Angeles out of Dulles International Airport with 64 people and approximately 30,000 punds of fuel—crashed into the Pentagon's west facade.

This month's cover graphically demonstrates just a portion of the damage, along with a Marine Corps flag, still prominently standing in what was the office of Peter Murphy, Counsel to the Commandant."

I am not clear about whether or not Mr. Murphy survived the attack. I think he did. Anyone?

Hope this sheds some light on the subject.

Thanks for the back ground info. You are right, it does look like a very close match.
