As we remembered 911 on Sunday, it also reminded me of my visit to the Flight 93 National Memorial near Shanksville in Stoystown, PA.  Flight 93 was hijacked by terrorists on its way to our nation's Capitol and was brought down by the help of the passengers on board in a Pennsylvannia field. The site of the crash is where the Memorial is located.  A huge rock now sits on the section of land where the plane went down.  Here's some pics I took outside the Visitors Center including the White Marble Wall of Names of the victims.
