Arnold Air Force Base, TENN. --  In recognition of the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on the U.S., two framed prints of fighter jets flying over the Pentagon and the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001, were donated to Arnold Engineering Development Complex (AEDC).

Dean and Judy Mohler presented the prints to AEDC Commander Col. Raymond Toth, who accepted on behalf of AEDC. Dean is a retired Air Force Chief Master Sergeant and former AEDC civilian employee and Judy currently works for the AEDC Technology and Analysis and Evaluation branch.

Dean explained he bought the prints from artist Rick Herter in 2002 while on temporary duty at the Pentagon.

"At the time I was stationed with the United States Special Operations Command at MacDill AFB," he said. "The original paintings were presented to the Pentagon, where they remain today. [My wife and I] finally framed the prints this year and decided to donate them to AEDC so they could be enjoyed by everyone that visits the building as a remembrance of 9/11."

The prints will be displayed on the third floor of the A&E building.
