The Pentagon 9/11 Memorial tour provided excellent opportunities for twenty-three foreign media outlets from 15 countries to tour the Pentagon 9/11 memorial wing and do special reports at the Pentagon in commemoration of the 5th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.  The journalists filmed the Memorial construction site, Memorial Chapel and 9/11 Attack Limestone Marker and conducted one-on-one interviews on site with Pentagon Chapel Chaplain Colonel William Broome, survivors Debra Wagner and John Yates, family members of victims Rosemary Dillard, Tom Heidenberger and Jim Laychak, and first responder Bill Donleavy.
