I don't think anyone has forgotten. I had a meeting with some people from Lockheed. They had just gone past the Pentagon right before the plane hit. They got to our office and knew something had happened but didn't know what. We never had that meeting -- we just sat around the conference table stunned. We all knew people working there. Reports kept coming in that the State Department had been bombed and we all knew people there too.
People that knew I had worked there, called me on the phone that night to make sure I was okay.
I didn't go to the Pentagon for about a week. By the time I got there, they had already boarded up along the damnaged part of the building, but they couldn't make the awful smell go away, and they certainly could not erase the fact that people had died there. A friend who worked in Crystal City (adjacent to the Pentagon) said that papers and debris were blowing around the streets.
A few weeks after that we had the Antrax scare (our offices had to be swept because we received mail from the State Department mail room) and then there were the snipers.
It was an awful Fall.
