Publisher's summary

During the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001 in the United States, 184 people died at the Pentagon while hundreds more crawled through choking smoke and over burning wreckage to safety. But because the Pentagon attack was dwarfed by the tragedy at the World Trade Center, many have yet to hear the stories of the valiance and tenaciousness of the Pentagon employees; about the physical and psychic toll the attack took on them and their families -- and about how they have overcome and are moving on. This hour-long program tells these stories in the voices of the people who lived them, without narration. Many of these survivor stories are devastating. Many are inspirational. All offer important lessons. We Were on Duty won the Society of Professional Journalists Outstanding Documentary award in 2003.
