😭😭🙏RIP🇺🇲 WE’LL NEVER EVER FORGET 💔🕊️
Their names were
Bernard C. Brown II
Asia S. Cottom
and Rodney Dickens
They were all eleven years old. They were in sixth grade.
They were headed for a special field trip to California with their teachers, which was being put on by National Geographic. And they all died aboard Flight-77 when it slammed into the Pentagon on September 11th.
Bernard was remembered as "clever, a quick wit, the kind of boy who kept his teachers on their toes" who loved basketball.
Asia was called "kindhearted" and helpful, who loved school and Tweety Bird.
Rodney "loved reading, playing computer games, and playing with his siblings" as well as being a huge fan of professional wrestling.
All three were good students, which is why they were chosen to take this special field trip. Bernard's death was particularly terrible for his family, as his father worked at the Pentagon. Often, the stories of the children get lost in all of the other stories of the day. Other children perished with their families, like Dana and Zoe Falkenberg, who were killed with their parents aboard Flight 77. Bernard, Asia, and Rodney were not traveling with their families - and they left immense holes in the lives of parents and siblings that never can be filled.
Remember these three sixth graders, and the other children, and the intelligence and potential and futures that were lost to due to a monstrous evil. 🇺🇸 SEPTEMBER 11, 2001 — Never Forget. 🕊️🗽Honoring the strength of first responders and families 😭🕊️🗽 The Historical Stories
