The Morning FRAGO

As we approach the 20th anniversary of September 11, 2001, we pause to remember and honor those who lost their lives, those who sacrificed to save others, those who responded to the scenes, and those who deployed as part of America's response to the attacks. We will never forget.

Staff Sgt. Stefan Still was stationed at Fort Myer with the Army's Old Guard, just outside Washington, D.C., and three miles from the Pentagon.

"It was just an absolutely beautiful morning," he said. "It's kind of the first morning where the temperature had broken and it first started to feel like fall."

After PT, while waiting for assignments, he and members of his platoon were listening to the radio when they heard about the crash in New York. They switched a television to CNN.

And then they felt their building shake. Flight 77 had crashed into the Pentagon.
