There are few dates that lack both good and bad memories for most of us.
Some scholars (not all the same ones) but a few show that the following events may coincide:

The Battle of Thermopylae
The first appearance of the astronomical event now known as the Star of Bethlehem
The Battle of Sterling Bridge
Ground Breaking for Pentagon construction
WTC/Pentagon attacks

John Henry Pruitt embodied the spirit found everywhere in the Marine Corps. He is buried at Arlington National Cemetery.

Due to the last event in the above list, Dana Falkenberg's unidentifiable remains and a few others working at the Pentagon are now buried not far from Corporal Pruitt. To my knowledge she is the youngest person buried there. Born 21 July 1998, died 11 September 2001.

Freedom isn't free.
