Khang  Nguyen, 41, worked at the Pentagon as a systems administrator for a U.S. Navy contractor.
   He grew up amid war conditions in South Vietnam and immigrated to Washington, D.C. in 1981. After earning a B.S. degree from the University of Maryland, he worked for the Defense Information Systems Agency at the Pentagon for 13 years and had recently begun work as a systems administrator. He loved working at the Pentagon and would buy hats and T-shirts with government logos. He devoured books on the military, particularly about the Vietnam War. His family said he relished his new stable life.
   Survivors include his wife Tu and son An.
   We will not forget him.

   U.S. Navy Petty Officer (2d class) Michael Allen Noeth, 30, was working in the Pentagon as a Navy illustrator and draftsman.
   He joined the Navy as a deck seaman in 1994. The next year he drew a cover for “All Hands,” a Navy magazine where he worked. While stationed on the amphibious assault ship USS Wasp, he had a showing of his paintings in New York. "I paint sailors to show the world that we don’t just ride ships to see some really cool foreign countries," he told the Navy News Service. "I want people to realize that their freedom and protection comes from the sweat of the sailors on board."
   We will not forget him.
