Flight 93 Crash Site

Yesterday the wife and I went to the Flight 93 crash site in Pa. We had no idea that Vice president was going to be there and we got there just as he was leaving but the large crowd was there. I was really surprised at the number of younger folks in attendance. We did get to watch the laying of the wreath by the Flight attendants and pilots ceremony. In my mind, those folks on that flight were true heroes, they knew they were going to die and stopped the terrorists from getting to Washington and killing more people. We took off Monday morning for Va. Beach then decided to go to the Viet Nam vetrans memorial to see some of my friends that didn't make it home names but there was absolutely no place to park so we headed north, planning on coming home. Since yesterday was 9/11 we decided to head for the crash site and I'm so glad we did, those folks died for me and you the same as my brothers on the wall (maybe in a different way). We stayed in Somerset last night and stopped at the Frank Lloyd Wright built Falling Waters before heading home. This old man is tired but glad we went--Later birthday present fir the wife and an early one for me. Keith

sounds like an eventful day. I have a good friend on the wall. my late wife and I made it there about 10 years ago. safe travels

I couldn't agree more!

My wife and I visited the Flight 93 Memorial and Fallingwater last year. The memorial is very moving, and I recommend it to anyone passing through the area. Fallingwater is a must-see for anyone interested in architecture. Reservations are needed to visit Fallingwater during the summer.

I also recommend visiting Johnstown, PA, the site of a horrific flood in 1889. The museum there is very good, and if possible one should take a ride on Johnstown's famous "inclined plane" funicular.

wife and I were there 6-7 years ago, just passin through in the motor home, long road back to it
