Report from the Flight 93 Service

It was a wonderful and moving ceremony at the Flight 93 memorial in Shanksville this morning. I had the privilege of being one of those who read the names of those on board who died as heroes. I stood with Yachiyo Kuge whose 20-year-old son died in the crash. She read his name proudly and with tears. Perhaps a thousand people gathered together to give thanks for what these men and women did. The Governor was there as well as John McCain who spent much time with the family members who gather each year on this date to remember. He is shown in the photo looking at the temporary memorial wall with Gordon Felt whose brother Edward was one of the passengers. Gordon is also heading up the effort to create a permanent memorial at the site. I feel very privileged to have been part of the service today.
