"Gerard P. "Jerry" Moran, 39, of Upper Marlboro, traveled the world as a combat photographer for the Navy between 1979 and 1984.

When American Airlines Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon on Tuesday, Moran was working there as an engineering contractor for the Navy, doing video teleconferencing, as he has for the last three years. He was still listed yesterday as missing.

Moran, who was born in Baltimore, studied photojournalism at Oklahoma University after graduating from Scranton Technical High School in Pennsylvania. His wife of 18 years, Joyce A. Moran, is a retired Navy photographer."
