A Common Field One Day.....a Field of Honor Forever 

A Day Forever Remembered

The events of September 11, 2001, are forever etched into the hearts and souls of our nation and the world.  The coordinated hijacking of four commercial airliners, the planned attack on symbolic targets, the murder of innocent people, were all tragic and shocking events.  The extraordinary responses of individuals to the challenges they faced are inspiring and worthy of remembrance.

 A Grateful Nation

President Bush said, “Let us also remember that the first victory in this war came on a hijacked plane bound for the nation’s capital.  Somehow the brave men and women on Flight 93, knowing they would die, found the courage to use their final moments to save the lives of others . . . Few are called to show the kind of valor seen on Flight 93, or on the field of battle.  Yet all of us do share a calling: Be strong in adversity and unafraid in danger.”
