Wednesday, Shawn took my mom & dad and Caelan & I on a tour of the Pentagon. (No interior pics for obvious reasons, and I didn't feel like being tackled to try to get the camera in :) After a full security check and cavity search (just kidding) we went to the Army Operations Center, where Shawn is a briefer. He introduced us to some of his superiors who had some amazing things to say about him. I'm extremely proud! On the inside, the Pentagon looks just like an office building, but with many signs on doors that say RESTRICTED AREA. Many of the hallways are lined with portraits of important military leaders, war artifacts and memorials. They have a chapel dedicated to 9/11, which is really powerful. There is a memorial book which includes pictures and details of the lives lost. I was really touched and can't really put to words how it felt to read about these precious lives. We really enjoyed the tour and now Caelan can say he's seen where daddy works which just happens to be the largest office building in the world.
