Over the weekend, a ceremony was held to dedicate a memorial to the citizen heroes of United Airlines Flight 93, who gave their lives to prevent that plane from being used as a weapon in the massive attack against our nation this day exactly ten years ago. Their selfless efforts are now memorialized in a field in Shanksville, Pa, where the downed airliner crashed into the ground killing all aboard. Who knows how many other of their fellow citizens were saved by their courageous actions of that day.
Both former Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton gave deeply moving speeches at that commemoration, which I am linking to here for those who might want to take a bit of time out of their schedules to remember their sacrifice and to also reflect on where you were that day and the emotions you were experiencing as you watched the reports coming out of New York City, Washington DC and of course, Shanksville, Pa.
