Finally Friday - Flight 93 Memorial

On our drive from  my dad's outside  of Philly to Pittsburgh, we stopped in Shanksville, PA the sight of the Flight  93 National Memorial.  We had a gorgeous Sunday afternoon, reminiscent of that  lovely September 11, 2001. Blue skies, sunny. An innocent Tuesday out  in the country. 

The memorial overlooks the flight path of United 93 as the  passengers fought  the terrorists and  knowingly caused the plane to crash and not head into Washington  DC for evil destruction.

A common field  one  day. A  field of honor  forever       These words enshrine the memory of the crew members and passengers - all  heroes on a tragic  day. 

 This Tower of Voices is a unique chime system in memory of those lost. 

I highly recommend driving  the Lincoln Highway through the countryside of PA and  stopping to  honor  the memory  of  that  solemn  day. The Flight 93 National Memorial  is well done and gives one pause to  remember and not forget a turning point  in history. Bring  a tissue.
