The wife and I went out to the Flight 93 Memorial after work today to take some pics for you all and to remember the day.  In case you arent familiar, This is where the hijacked UAL Flight 93 was brought down by the passengers outside of Shanksville Pa the morning of September 11th 2001.  Their act of bravery may have saved many lives in D.C..  I say this cause in my travels I have met some who have never heard of Flight 93.  Below are some pics of the temporary memorial.  I thought maybe those who havent been here would like to see it.  It is about 5 minutes from my house. 

The main tent were the ceremony that was held this a.m.  Colon Powell and from what I hear General Tommy Franks spoke today.

In the center of the pic you can the the Flag.  This is where the plane crashed and where the Passenger remains are buried.




"Angels of Freedom"


Todd Beamers "Angel"  He is known for "Lets Roll"


The wall where people leave mementos. Every now and then it is cleared off.  The items are archived and stored at our Historical Society until the permanent memorial is built.
