Jim Miklaszewski Is Honored by the Pentagon

As he prepares to retire at the end of the year, NBC News’ Jim Miklaszewski has been enjoying quite the farewell tour in the final months of his role as chief Pentagon correspondent. There was the live shout-out from President Obama at a Pentagon presser in August, one from Lester Holt on last night‘s Nightly News, and, just this morning, there was a Today show sendoff, with Matt Lauer recounting how on 911 “‘Mik’ was the first at the scene to report that the Pentagon had been attacked.”
