Because some things are bigger than sites, football, or

even links…we

are working on a cross-site project. It’s a small one, and

yet a very important one. It revolves around..

93centsforflight93. And hopefully we can play a small part.

This is their site…please check it out..

93 cents. That is all they are asking. Most of us have that laying under

a car seat. Is there a better cause? Where will the money go?

To a permament memorial for the 40 passengers that lost their lives on

Sept 11th. Forty people that never made it home …will maybe someday

have a permanent home. 40 people that willingly chose death, in an

effort to protect our country.

The campaign is partnering with the HALO Foundation (Akron, OH) to develop a special intergenerational fundraising program among students to connect these young people to the Flight 93 National Memorial through service and charity. The president of the HALO Foundation, Sharon Deitrick, is a member of the national Steering Committee.

The campaign is also spearheaded by Mr. David Beamer.

Who is David Beamer?

He is the proud dad of Todd Beamer…best known as the guy that
put a credit card call through in the back of the plane to a
GTE representative and gave the alert. He is the guy that said…
Immortally…”Let’s Roll.”

He now tours talking to kids...here is a great link from his
visit to my hometown..

He is also trying to get a memorial built. Here is the info
on the memorial itself and the dollars and cents it will take.

David Beamer is willing to take some member/board questions on the
cause, the event, what they hope to accomplish. And I hope he gets
lots of questions. Because each question and each answer will make people that much
more aware. So ask them in this thread, we will
turn them in and post the responses as soon as we get them.

More on Todd Beamer and that day…

Quote:
On that day, two commercial airliners were hijacked shortly after departure from Boston. Both planes were deliberately flown into the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, resulting in the loss of all 157 on board and 2,635 occupants of the World Trade Center, rescue workers, and innocent bystanders. A third plane was hijacked after departure from Washington, D.C., and flown into the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, taking the lives of 64 passengers and crew and 125 in the building.

The fourth plane, United Airlines Flight 93, was delayed in its scheduled departure from Newark, New Jersey to San Francisco, California. About 45 minutes into the flight, as the Boeing 757 was nearing Cleveland, Ohio, it abruptly changed course, heading southeast in the direction of Washington, D.C. Shortly before 10 a.m., it was observed flying low and erratically over southwestern Pennsylvania. Just after 10 a.m., the plane crashed at a cruising speed estimated at more than 500 miles per hour into a reclaimed strip mine at the edge of a wooded area in Somerset County, Pennsylvania. Emergency responders, arriving at the scene minutes after the crash, found no survivors. All 33 passengers and seven crew members were killed.

In the hours and days that followed, an astounding story about what happened on board Flight 93 was revealed. When the terrorists took over the plane, passengers and crew were able to telephone family members, friends and emergency dispatchers to report the hijacking. Through these conversations, those on board Flight 93 learned about the horrific events unfolding at the World Trade Center and at the Pentagon.

As their phone conversations revealed, the passengers and crew of Flight 93 realized that their plane was also part of the planned attack. This led to a collective decision by the passengers and crew to stop the terrorists from achieving their goal. The story of the heroic actions of the passengers and crew of Flight 93 was later confirmed when the many telephone conversations and the cockpit voice recorder were reviewed. Although the details of what took place on board the flight will never be fully known, all 40 of the passengers and crew are recognized as heroes.

While the nation mourned the loss of life on that day, the selfless acts of the passengers and crew of Flight 93 evoked respect and appreciation from people around the world. Actions of the terrorists, intended to divide and demoralize the nation, had the opposite effect and the crash of Flight 93 became a symbol of courage in the face of adversity. The site of the crash became a place of impromptu gathering where the public memorialized and commemorated these events while they struggled to comprehend their meaning.

Following an exhaustive field investigation and recovery effort during the autumn of 2001, the crash site was reclaimed. The crater was backfilled, and the area was planted with grass and wildflowers. The site was also fenced, and security was posted. At the same time, county and regional leaders, members of the local community, the families of the passengers and crew of Flight 93, and representatives from the National Park Service began to realize the importance of the crash site as a place of honor and the need to preserve and protect it. Within six months of the tragic event, federal legislation was introduced to create a national monument. Congress acted quickly to approve legislation creating the Flight 93 National Memorial.
