Tower of Voices

In Shanksville, Pa., at the site of the crash of Flight 93, the "Tower of Voices" remembers 40 passengers and crew who heroically thwarted their hijackers' plans.  When finished, it will contain 40 wind chimes intended to recall the voices of the passengers and crew in their final heart-breaking calls and voicemails.

The site of the Flight 93 Memorial is not far from home-a field of honor with beautiful tributes throughout.  My favorite quote from a card under one of the honored:  "Greater love hath no man than this that a man lay down his life for his friends."

There is a beautiful silence at the park.  After leaving we found a Lion's Club park (near a VFW) with a covered bridge, school house, a helicopter and a tank.  The park care taker was so happy to see us unpacking our picnic basket there.
