My brother was in the Pentagon. He made it out, but he wasn’t able to get hold of anyone in the family ‘til about 11:30 that night and let them know he survived...
Joe, thank God he got out of there alive! When I called my secretary to tell her what had happened and that I would be arriving late she said: “Oh my God , my son works in the Trade Center!” My blood went cold hearing that. Luckily, he also was able to get out alive. My wife was working in downtown NYC and one of our sons was in high school on the Upper East Side. I was unable to reach them until early in the morning on the 12th! Just a horrible, horrible time in all of our lives.
Please thank your brother for his service to our country for me!
