Flight 93 Memorial

The memorial sits on a hill overlooking the crash site and the Wall of Names memorializes the 40 who died. A dark stone pathway marks the flight's path and bisects the memorial. A stone marks the exact crash site.

Flight 93 National Memorial is a tribute to the passengers and crew of United Flight 93 and is a place to explore and discover their inspiring story of courage and hope.

The designers have left a number of open areas along the primary processional route that are clearly intended for people to leave offerings, kind of like shrines.

The spirit of this memorial is embodied by forming a narrative of earth and sky, shadows and reflections leaving us with a memory of place.

While I walked the grounds I thought that by memorializing these 40 individuals as patriots, we have woven them into much larger story of our nation—and what it means to be truly American.

 "A common field one day.  A field of honor forever".

The memorial marks this land as a place of violence and a place of healing and renewal.   

A wildflower meadow sweeping up the slopes above the Memorial Plaza at the crash site brings color and life to a once scarred landscape.   

In memory of those gallant passengers and flight crew members of United Airlines Flight 93 who defeated the terrorist hijackers and their intended purpose.  Blessed are the peacemakers!

Let's roll!
