A common field one day. A field of honor forever.
On Tuesday morning, September 11, 2001, the U.S. came under attack when four commercial airliners were hijacked and used to strike targets on the ground. Nearly 3,000 people tragically lost their lives. Because of the actions of the 40 passengers and crew aboard one of the planes, Flight 93, the attack on the U.S. Capitol was thwarted.
Oct 3, 2019A very moving and humbling site. We knew this was going to be a hard site to take in, but a site we have been wanting to see. The feelings of that tragic day are still fresh and very raw. We took in the Visitor Center to get an understanding of the events on Sept 11 and the passengers of Flight 93 that we lost on that day. There is not a movie here, but the Visitor Center does a amazing job of telling the story. After the Visitor Center we took the mile long walk down to the site. You can drive down, but this walk helped to give us time to think and understand what we learned in the Visitor Center. The lower site was just as emotional as the Visitor Center. After taking in the lower site, we went back up and then drove out to the Tower of Voices. This was a fitting end to our visit. We highly recommend this site to visit.
