Flight 93

As I promised myself ,this was the year that I was getting to Somerset to see this memorial. I have to tell you somethings that I noticed while there. First ,how everyone just knows to respect this as the "resting place". I also noticed just how quickly this place will take you back to that day, the very thing you were doing, why, how and what time. It's kind of eerie how while you there it's almost 9/11 again. Anyway, just something you have to experience yourself, but I hope you all do. This memorial is basically a small parking lot, made for the memorial on a piece of land out in nowhere. When they say this plane could not have gone down in a better remote place, that saying is underestimated, it could have never landed in a better place or position. It is small and there are tons of items left behind from people visiting. Fortunately they are going to begin a permanent memorial with the first phase being completed for the 10yr. anniversary.

If you look closely above at the field pic, there is a American Flag hung on a fence. Let me give you more of a visual. The memorial is across the road from where the plane landed. The site is pretty far down the field so you are hardly able to see anything, but it was also filled in, and planted with wild flowers. At the new memorial, I believe it will take you down closer to the crash site. These pics are just some of memorial stones and items left behind.

These are the angels that were one of the first items put there and have each name on them.

Overall, I am very glad we got to go. Olivia just couldn't understand the whole impact of it, but I didn't expect her to really. To her, it was where a plan crashed, period. I was just pregnant with her when this happened, so I guess she will have to learn it in school. I will go back when the permanent memorial is done or the first phase is complete and hard to believe that will be 10yrs. afterwards..............
