Nehamon Lyons

Nehamon Lyons, was killed September 11, 2001 at Washington D.C. after the attack at the Pentagon.Nehamon died doing what he loved. Since he was very small he have always talked about working at the Pentagon.After graduation he attended the University of South Alabama for three years pursuing a degree in medicine. On November 14,1996 Nehamon enlisted in the United States Navy at the Military Entrance and Processing Stations,Montgomery, Alabama. On Dec 5th 1996, Nehamon reported for recruit training at the Recruit Training Command, Great Lakes Illinois. Upon completion of recruit training, he reported to the Fleet Combat Training Center, Dam Neck, Virginia where he attended Operations Specialist “A” School. In May 1997, Nehamon reported aboard the USS GETTYSBURG (CG64), one of the Navy’s most advanced warships. In October 2000, he transferred to the Pentagon in Washington,DC where he served as a member of the Navy Command Support Team until his death.While in the Navy, Nehamon was awarded the Purple Heart(posthumously),the Navy and Marine Corps, Commendations Medal(posthumously),the Navy and Marine Corps, Achievement Medal, the Joint Meritorious Unit Award, the Navy “E” Ribbon. the Good Conduct Medal, and the Sea Service Deployment Ribbon. Nehamon would always have a smile on his face and he wanted to do his best and to succeed in life. He was only 30 when he passed but he had lived a full life.And I believed that on that awful day Nehamon would not had wanted to be any other place than the Pentagon. I know that his time was short here on earth but it helps me to know that God has bigger plans for him in heaven………
