Sacrificing Everything on 9/11: Flight 93

 

The words of Darryl Worley's song, "Have you Forgotten, How it Felt that Day"

Flight 93 Memorial Shanksville PA

I believe are words that all of us will never forget WHERE we were, WHAT we were doing and HOW we felt that September 11, 2001.

Last September, we were travelling through southern Pennsylvania. We stopped to get information at the Pennsylvania Welcome Center and one of the recommended places to see was the Shanksville PA Memorial to Flight 93.

Yes, I had "forgotten" about Flight 93 and how they SACRIFICED EVERYTHING on that day.

They had learned that other planes had flown into buildings and they CHOSE to not allow those terrorists to do more damage.

Flight 93 ended in a southern Pennsylvania farm field.

The sound of silence was the thing I first remember there. I felt like I was at Arlington or the Vietnam Memorial in D.C. 

It was such a place for reverence and beauty of everything that America represents.

Now they are erecting a 93 foot tall tower with chimes, that will be the "voices" for the those heroes onboard that flight.

If you are in this area, I would recommend you visit this memorial so we don't forget these 9/11 Heroes that truly represent SACRIFICING EVERYTHING.

Hi Faye- I watched some of the ceremony from there and told my husband that we need to take a road trip there.

Morning Faye.

I was watching TV yesterday and saw the memorial.  I don't know how far from Wilmington NC, it is.  We'll be there next month, depending on what the hurricane does.  If its within a days drive, we will go

It's located in southern Pennsylvania. There is so much history there with Fort Ligonier where George Washington was a young soldier.

faye schubert - Goose bumps is what I got when I got down to paragraph three. 

It seems only fitting to erect a 93 foot tower with chimes. I remember the sound of silence here in Dallas too. Before then, I used to complain about too many planes overhead. Once that sound of silence got stuck in my head, I never did forget. Also, I quit complaining about trivial things, like sound of planes - so selfish of me. I actually wanted to hear more. What a difference those days made. Pray history will never repeat itself.

It really is a great monument to  the "American spirit" of fighting for freedom. It takes on a new meaning in today's world, as well as our our country's initial foundation.
