E-Mail From America RAW! - The Man Who Rebuilt The Pentagon
E-mail From America - RAW!
It's human nature to focus on the moment - history will recall the events of September 11, 2001, in ever greater detail as technology continues to assist mankind in recalling the past with increased focus and clarity. But it's also human nature that the further one moves from a point, all that remains in focus is that point. And what gets shrouded in the fog of the memory is all that surrounds. So take a few moments to meet Lee Evey, the man who rebuilt The Pentagon in the years that followed; aftermath deserves as much as clarity as what goes before.
