Seven is a lucky number-especially in Reno. A steak dinner cost $7.77, 7 come 11 at the crap table is a sure bet, and 7's all lined up in a slot machine equal JACKPOT! In a gambling town, that number is magic. For Admiral Rob Reilly, who was our special guest awards presenter at the NDTA Military Unit Awards Ceremony, seven holds special inspiration, Consider this . . . 1. We are Seven years into our fight with terrorism-the attacks of September 11 took place only seven years ago, when so many people lost their lives in New York, Pennsylvania, and Washington. Reilly recalled the 9/11 Memorial Dedication Ceremony at the Pentagon he attended and its theme: Remember, Renew, Reflect. Prominently displayed are 184 benches, one for each life lost; they are perfectly aligned with the flight path of American Airlines (AA77) as it hit the building. The benches are arranged according to the victim's age-the youngest seat closest to the Pentagon. He encouraged everyone to visit the memorial which is open 24/7-meaning we should never forget.
