Sept. 11, 2001, is one of those dates Americans never will forget. It hits especially hard for Angelia Blunt, whose sister died that day 22 years ago.
Marsha Ratchford had been in the Navy about 15 years by 9/11. She had just re-enlisted and had received a promotion. She was working as Naval information technician, assigned to Pentagon.
“As soon as he hung up telephone with her, that’s when he felt the shake,” Blunt told FOX10 News. “And it was a plane hitting the Pentagon.” Blunt said she feels the loss every day but especially on this day. She said it would have been easier, in way, if her sister had died in a traffic accident.
