BARBARA STARR, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): As the second anniversary of the 9/11 attack approaches, at the Pentagon, that horrible day now being remembered. Pentagon personnel enter a room, each of them having lost colleagues and friends. They pick up a piece of colored glass and place it in a window frame. The survivors are assembling four stain-glassed windows to remember the 184 people who were killed here.

MIGUEL FERNANDEZ, U.S. NAVY: I'm here to say good-bye. I said it before, now it's time to terminate, say good-bye and keep on moving along with my life. I'm closing some doors today is what I'm doing by doing this. I'm remembering them, but I'm going to keep it going.

STARR: Emotions come to the surface.

Two years but you don't forget.

COLONEL DEBBIE FIX, U.S. ARMY: No, you don't forget. Particularly, at this time of the year and, especially if you survive something like that because you feel very fortunate that you were able to continue on.

STARR: And then, 9/11 becomes very personal.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: This will be for all the Pentagon press corps that was there.

STARR: As one of the people in the building during the attack, I was asked to place a piece of glass in the window frame. A moment to again stop and remember. The windows will be placed in this private Pentagon chapel next Thursday, a place to always remember.

Barbara Starr, CNN, the pentagon.
