WE WILL NEVER FORGET - September 11, 2001

DOWNTOWN MIAMI



On August 26, 2005, I visited the makeshift memorial for Flight 93, which crashed in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, on September 11, 2001.  There were hundreds of trinkets, signs, and remembrances left all over the area for the courageous 40 passengers and crew members who fought back against their hijackers aboard Flight 93.  Over the years, the U.S. Park Service has been building a permanent memorial, and yesterday the first phase was dedicated.  Today -- the 10th Anniversary of September 11th -- there will be a Commemoration Ceremony.  For info go to:  http://www.nps.gov/flni/planyourvisit/upload/parkbrochure.pdf


I would highly recommend a visit to this memorial if you
are ever in the area of Shanksville or Stoystown, Pennsylvania.
