The story is little know because it is false. It never happened. One
quick google search would have told you that.

It's also not rotary related.

Not even really truly aviation related.

It doesn't belong here.

occurred.  This daycare had many children, including infants who were in heavy 
cribs. The daycare supervisor, looking at all the children they needed to 
evacuate, was in a panic over what they could do. There were many children, 
mostly toddlers, as well as the infants that would need to be taken out with the 
cribs. There was no time to try to bundle them into carriers and strollers.  
Just then a young Marine came running into the center and asked what they 
needed. After hearing what the center director was trying to do, he ran back out 
into the hallway and disappeared. The director thought, 'Well, here we are—on 
our own.'

of them grabbed a crib with a child, and the rest started gathering up toddlers. 
The director and her staff then helped them take all the children out of the 
center and down toward the park near the Potomac and the Pentagon. Once they got 
about 3/4 of a mile outside the building, the Marines stopped in the park, and 
then did a fabulous thing - they formed a circle with the cribs, which were 
quite sturdy and heavy, like the covered wagons in the Old West. Inside this 
circle of cribs, they put the toddlers, to keep them from wandering off.  
Outside this circle were the 40 Marines, forming a perimeter around the children 
and waiting for instructions. There they remained until the parents could be 
notified and come get their children.

There wasn't a dry eye in the room. The thought of those Marines and what they 
did and how fast they reacted; could we expect any less from them?  It was one 
of the most touching stories from the Pentagon."
