This was a very nice tribute to the victims of the World Trade Center, but wouldn't it have been more suited to have them fly over the Pentagon?

It bothers me that because the World Trade Center attack involved more casualties, and more property damage it is overshadowing the victims at the Pentagon, and aboard the other planes.

As a friend, who is also a three star general, put it, members of the Armed forces are expected to die, it is easier to accept when members of the Military are killed than civilians.

As I told my children last evening, if even just one person had been killed at the Pentagon,that person's family grieves just as much as all those who lost loved ones in New York. Their life is just as important, and deserves to be honored just as much.

May God bless and protect all the families who were impacted by the events of 9/11, and all those who risk their lives every day to keep us safe, and free. Especially, our Policemen, Firemen, and Servicemen.
