Remembering those who perished in the attacks on the Pentagon on September 11th, 2001:
Patrick Dunn
U.S Navy Commander Patrick Dunn, 39, worked as a planner and strategist in the Navy Command Center at the Pentagon.
The son of a Newark policeman, he came from a Navy family. His father served in World War II and the Korean War. CDR Dunn and one of his brothers were U.S. Naval Academy graduates.
"Pat's favorite thing was to be at sea," said his wife Stephanie, who fondly remembers waving the blue-and-gold Naval Academy flag from the roof of their home in Italy when the USS LaSalle headed out to sea with her husband, who was the ship's executive officer, on board. "If the ship was rocking," she said, "he was happy."
CDR Dunn was buried at Arlington National Cemetery.
