Flight 93

 Friday, October 23, 200

We have wanted to visit this memorial site for some time and today we finally did it.  This was one of the most emotional places we have ever visited.  The memorial is done so well and you can really feel what happened that day. 

The visitor center really explains how everything took place.  The flight path of the plane is represented in the shape and direction of the walls leading to the area where the plane crashed.  That area is considered a burial place and you are not allowed to go there.  There are many places where each individual is named.  One can really reflect on what happened that day.

The day we visited was a cool, clear, sunny day.  Just like the day it happened.  I could just imagine hearing the plane and looking up to wonder what was happening.  This area of Pennsylvania is just quiet farmland.  What a shock it was for those living in this area.  Just as NYC and DC was in for such a shock.  This was a remarkable visit.

A beautiful day, just as it was on 9-11,

After our solemn visit to the Memorial, we explored this area of Pennsylvania.  We did three covered bridges.

This memorial was across the street from one of the covered bridges in Stoystown, PA.
