This plain gold wedding band has notches around the exterior. This ring was worn by Leslie Whittington while on American Airlines Flight 77 that crashed into the Pentagon on September 11, 2001. She was traveling with her husband, Charlie and two children, Dana and Zoe, who also perished.
This U.S. flag bolted through two grommets onto a wooden staff and is meant for holding by hand. The staff is marked with the flight numbers (11, 77, 93, and 175) of the airliners hijacked on Sept. 11, 2001, and has hash marks for the number of people killed on each flight. These areas are covered with clear tape. The flag is printed on nylon, and is marked "Nyl-Glo, 100% Nylon Bunting," with an eagle profile logo, and "Annin & Co., Since 1847, Made in USA."
This is a male’s black leather wallet with the contents still inside. This wallet was carried by Charlie Falkenberg, a passenger onboard American Airlines Flight 77 that crashed into the Pentagon on September 11, 2001. He was traveling with his wife, Leslie and two children, Dana and Zoe, who also perished. The wallet became so compressed from the crash that it will not open and the contents cannot be removed.
This light blue fabric banner hung in the lobby of one of the towers of the World Trade Center. The banner has half circles cut throughout for wind circulation. This banner was found in the ruins, between the two towers, by firefighter Joseph O'Toole of the New York City Fire Department.
