Sadness and Loss

The Flight 93 National Memorial, Stoystown, Pennsylvania

 

This memorial was quite emotional. It was built very near the open field where Flight 93 came down, in Pennsylvania, on 9/11/2001.

What my image shows is the flight path of Flight 93 and, as you walk along it, there are markers imbedded in the stone at your feet that show you the time of day when the plane was at your current location. It's quite a sobering experience, to say the least.

Linda and I managed to, more or less, keep it together until, inside the visitor's center, we entered a room that featured a wall of photographs of those who perished that day. We both lost it and I'm crying right now as I write this.
