In the chaos and confusion of the days following 9/11 she was mistakenly reported dead on arrival (DOA), and Absent Without Official Leave (AWOL). While the record identifying her as DOA has been corrected, the record that lists her as AWOL has yet to be corrected in the 3 years since 9/11.
That erroneous record continues to interfere with her ability to receive the Soldier's Medal for which she has been duly nominated for heroism in the face of extreme danger. While others were running away to save themselves, she took time to pull others from the rubble.
It seems that the medal is hung up in some bureaucratic snafu. This snafu has also interfered with her ability to receive relief funds from the military and private charities. It seems clear that this situation is a microcosm of the larger problem that created the conditions that allowed the terrorists to succeed in the 911 attack.

Pentagon Honors Its Heroes
by Staff Sgt. Triggs
WASHINGTON (Army News Service, Oct. 25, 2001) - Seventy Pentagon personnel were honored Oct. 23 for their acts of bravery on Sept. 11 when a jetliner crashed into the Pentagon and sent a rolling ball of fire through its corridors.
About half of the recipients received the Soldier's Medal for rescuing people trapped in the burning inferno. The ceremony was held at Conmy Hall, Fort Myer, Va.
There were five types of awards issued including the Defense of Freedom Medal, a newly authorized medal to honor civilians who are wounded or killed as a result of hostile action against the United States.
"I have many memories ... of Sept. 11 ... But few are as strong as what I saw in the hallways and on the grounds of the Pentagon in the minutes and hours following the attack," Sgt. Maj. of the Army Jack Tilley said during the hour-long awards ceremony.

COMPLAINT FOR VIOLATION OF CIVIL RIGHTS, CONSPIRACY, AND OTHER WRONGS
PRAYER FOR RELIEF
WHEREFORE, the plaintiff demands Trial By Jury, and Judgment against all defendants, jointly and severally, for compensatory and punitive damages in such amounts as the Jury may see fit to award; treble damages under 18 U.S.C. 2333(a), and costs of suit, expenses and attorneys fees...
Yours, etc.,
DATED: December 15, 2008.
April Gallop (AG - plaintiff)
The plaintiff alleges her belief that no airliner crashed into the Pentagon on 9/11, although it appears that one swooped low over the building just when bombs went off inside, or a missile hit, or both. These may have been controlled from E-4B, the Air Force "doomsday plane" which was shown live on CNN, circling over Washington at the time of the attack.
But whether a plane hit the building or something else did, certainly there was no warning of a plane's approach; which might have saved the plaintiff and her child, many others who were hurt, and the 125 people, members of the military and civilian employees, who died in the attack that morning. Yet flight controllers broadcast an emergency warning about the plane more than a half-four before the Pentagon was hit.
The explosion(s) destroyed the interior of the building where plaintiff's office was. When she could gather herself from the blast, with help from other survivors, they made their way out through rubble, smoke and dust. She got to the outside, holding her baby, collapsed on the grass, and woke up later in the hospital.

Wow, you finally got something correct. Yes, the treacherous Mainstream News Media is ignoring this story so far. But the internet which is still free thus far, much to your bitter disappointment, is spreading April Gallop's heroic attempt at justice and the search for truth just fine.
Even assuming the factual allegations of the complaint are true, Gallop's claims are not plausible. It is simply not plausible that the Vice President of the United States, the Secretary of Defense, and other high-ranking officials conspired to facilitate terrorist attacks that would result in the deaths of thousands of Americans.
A court may dismiss a claim as "factually frivolous" if the facts alleged are "clearly baseless", that is, "fanciful", fantastic" or "delusional" Denton v. Hernandez, 504 U.S. 25, 32-33 (1992) (quoting Neitzke v. Williams, 490 U.S. 319,325,327,328 (1989)) Courts have not hesitated to dismiss complaints asserting delusional claims of conspiracy.3 Indeed, courts have dismissed other cases alleging delusional conspiracy theories about the attacks of September 11,2001.
BecauseGallop's claims are factually baseless -- indeed, because they are fanciful, fantatic, and delusional -- they are dismissed.

I'm not sure how far the suit will get. As soon as anything of reliance is brought up, it prolly will be thrown out due to "national security"
"Can we see the cctv tapes of the pentagon during the attack?" NO, they are classified due to national security!
It would be nice to finally get some answers though

You didn't really read my post very carefully.
This lawsuit has already been thrown out, and not for any "national security" reasons. It was thrown out because "...Gallop's claims are factually baseless -- indeed, because they are fanciful, fantatic, and delusional -- they are dismissed."
There are your answers.

She also wondered, in that Guns and Butter interview, where were the missiles defenses?
The real question is what is the probability or likelihood that no anti-aircraft defense, warning alarms or additional security mechanism functioned on that particular day?
There have never been *any* "missile defenses" at the Pentagon prior to 9/11. I would expect an Army soldier like Gallop should know that, although since she was in personnel, perhaps that ignorance can be excused. When I worked there in 2000 I knew that.

Thanks for that, trebor451. Justice is done.

Where exactly does she say anything about missiles?
+ To cause the normal operation of ground and air defenses which guard the Pentagon from external attack to be altered, suspended or disrupted in such a way as to remove or negate the building's normal protections, and thus permit an airliner, believed to be hijacked by possible suicide bombers, and following a forbidden, descending flight path, to reach the Pentagon undeterred
26. Likewise, by the acts of one or more defendants in furtherance of the conspiracy, no defenses at the Pentagon responded either, no missile or anti-aircraft batteries opening from the ground around the building, or the roof; no sharpshooters deployed with hand-held missiles at stations close by; nothing. And, shockingly, when the towers in New York had already been hit, and Flight 77 (or a substitute, see below) was out of radio contact and headed back towards the capital; and even when the plane approached, and then doubled back and headed toward the building in a long dive, no alarm was sounded.
