Flight 93 Memorial Dedication

"An ordinary field one day, a field of honor forever."

Ten years after the horrific and life altering events of September 11th, 2001, phase 1 of the Flight 93 memorial was dedicated to the 40 American hero's on board United Flight 93 who saved the lives of an untold number. On that day, they showed the world that the strength, courage, and will of average Americans, is not something to be underestimated.

When most people recount that day, they often start out with "It was a beautiful day", as if bad things should only happen on cold, rainy days. Most people can also recall what they were doing in the hours leading up to the attacks and even what they were wearing that day. It was a profound event that changed the landscape of American life and left holes in the hearts of the families left behind. As a nation, we were shocked, sad, and angry, but what no one expected was, as a country we were more united than ever and we continue to be even 10 years later.

The Flight 93 National Memorial Campaign is about $10 million short from completing the memorial. If you would like To donate or learn more, please visit www.honorflight93.org or call 202.354.6488.
