a) How will the military staff who died at the Pentagon be remembered? Do their families receive some ceremonial recognition, as if they died in combat? I did hear one story of an Army man, wounded, received a Purple Heart…

b) What about all the civilian victims in NY, DC, and PA? Is there some Congressional Honor their families deserve?

I say “YES!” But, I wonder how this works…
