Ohio/Pennsylvania/Maryland/Delaware/New Jersey Road Trip
Flight 93 Memorial - Pennsylvania
The plane went down just at the edge of the woods in the distance. The area has been completely restored to it's original condition. A chain link fence surrounds the area (you can see an American flag attached to the fence just a little to the right of center near the woods).
The memorial is made up mostly of items people have left at the site. A permanent memorial is planned at this location.
A man from Guatemala sent this memorial marker. It says:
Those gallant passengers and flight crew members of United Airlines Flight 93 that on September 11th 2001,
defeated the coward terrorist hijackers and their intended purpose.
Blessed are the peacemakers ... for their heroism has allowed freedom to go on ringing.
This marker was donated by a motorcycle group called America's 9/11 Ride Foundation, Inc.
It says:
On September 11, 2001, the passengers and crew of United Flight 93 gave their lives.
They made this choice so that an unknown number of people could live, people they never met.
The people aboard Flight 93 gave the ultimate sacrifice.
Motorcyclists from all over the free world leave this memorial as a tribute to you.
Thank you for you Sacrifice.
May God bless you and your families.
Katie brought this little angle to add to the tributes.
