    Piper at the Pentagon 9/11 Tribute

    A lone piper played Amazing Grace as he walked across the 9/11 memorial built at the Pentagon. Very Nice.

    Very moving hearing Amazing Grace and seeing the area he marched through.

    I'm sure he was very nervous with all the cameras shoved in his face....

    I wonder why they put a recorded version over the video?

    The Fort Riley KS 9-11 Memorial ceremony was very nice, no pipers though and the turn out was minimal at best. Seven years ago I stood on a similar parade field at Fort Huachuca AZ hearing the tragic news and what would be the start of the GWOT.

    This wasn't recorded during the service - where are the attendees?

    Perhaps this was the best 'take' the newsies had to offer.

    Glad to see it, though he played a little fast for such an event, in my opinion.

    Nice job and thanks for your service.
