22nd Stop: Flight 93 Memorial

We thought it was important to pay tribute and visit the Flight 93 Memorial in Pennsylvania.  It really is in the middle of nowhere.  It's nothing like the one in New York.  This one was very peaceful yet more emotional.  There is a small museum with artifacts that were recovered from the crash site including a piece of the plane, drivers id's, and more.  You can listen to the final calls made to loved ones on the plane.  Talk about breaking your heart. Very powerful.  You can drive down to the memorial itself.  It's long and quiet and peaceful. The big boulder represents the crash site.  The hemlock trees in front of it have since regrown as some were burned. The wall represents the 40 souls who passed and the hemlock gate at the end signifies the path the plane took as it crashed down. What a remarkable and brave thing to do. God bless those souls on Flight 93.
