This wallet was carried by Charlie Falkenberg, a passenger onboard American Airlines Flight 77 that crashed into the Pentagon on September 11, 2001. He was traveling with his wife, Leslie and two children, Dana and Zoe, who also perished. The wallet became so compressed from the crash that it will not open and the contents cannot be removed.
