June 11, 2022

On the historic and tragic day of September 11, 2001 four planes were hijacked to be used as weapons of mass destruction against the citizens of the United States. Three of those planes were utilized by their terrorist abductors to crash into the New York World Trade Center and the US Defense Department Pentagon buildings, costing thousands of lives. The fourth plane, Flight 93, was also intended to be used as a Missile and crashed into either the White House or the Capitol Building, main institutions of the democratic government. Flight 93 had been delayed at the airport, but after the plane took off the passengers and crew were able to be forewarned of the hijackers intentions by family and loved ones via cellphone. Those 40 courageous passengers and crew members disregarded their own lives and fought back against the hijackers causing the plane to crash into a vacant field in Pennsylvania. Built in 2008, the memorial has 40 marble stones, each engraved with an individual's name, age, and hometown. On the front side of the 40 stones is a polished stainless steel mirror to reflect the viewer's own image to signify that it could have been any one of us aboard Flight 93 that day. The back of the 40 remembrance stones were left unfinished to signify that the heroes had unfinished lives. The stones begin at the "Circle of Remembrance", with two boards describing the Flight and the Memorial, and one board with the names of the Sponsors and Donors.

The flowing path leads the visitor to each stone and allows them to step off the path and individually reflect and pay respects to that person. The Memorial ends at the "Circle of Hope." A flag is surrounded by a circle of tiles hand painted by children from the community, showing their vision of the future. 93memorial.com
