On sunday 9/10 Renay and I got to dedicate the monument from NJ people to the heroes on board flight 93 at the temporary memorial adjacent to the crash site in Shanksville, PA. There were many family members present as we dedicated it and the outpouring of appreciation from them was unreal. One of the family members was the mother of Honor Elizabeth Wainio a 27 year old woman from Watchung, NJ. We have become friends with her. Shes very nice. We were able to place the monument exactly where I had hoped to...directly facing the flag in the field that is over the actual crash site. We also got to visit the flight 93 memorial chapel in town and got to see the monument that was just dedicated to the flight crew and was totally paid for by flight attendants and pilots. This monument is spectacular to say the least...it had to cost at least $250,000.00.

On Monday 9/11 we took part in the memorial ceremony and although it was very overcast and at times a cold drizzle began the weather held and the crowd of about 10,000 people got to hear from retired general Tommy Franks, tom ridge, Arlen Specter, the governor of pa and several family members.
