Join Fountain Hills resident and military Veteran Darla Roberts as she discusses the 6.5 years she worked in the Pentagon, the center of the world’s most powerful military. Darla spent the last three-year assignment of her US Air Force military career in the Pentagon. She later spent another 3.5 years in the Pentagon as a civilian Department of Defense contractor. Darla’s work there occurred before the 9/11 attacks as a military member, then again after the 9/11 attacks as a civilian. She worked in the section of the Pentagon that was destroyed on 9/11 and then rebuilt in record time. Join Darla for a look at the history of the building itself, how and why it was built, how it changed after 9/11, and a first-hand look at what the day-to-day work life is really like in the seat of our Nation’s military power. You may be surprised at some of the events that happen in the Pentagon on a daily basis and during special events. Fountain Hills Library, December 5th, 1PM.
