How about?

“SHANKSVILLE — The Flight 93 National Memorial will open a special exhibit, “Memories from the Memorial: Looking Back 2001-2011” today at the Flight 93 Learning Center.

 

The special exhibit will be open to the public from

 

11 a.m. to 3 p.m. today and Sunday, July 20-21, Aug. 3-4, Aug. 10-11, Aug. 18, Aug. 24-25, Aug. 31- Sept. 1 and

 

Sept. 7-8.

 

The display will include several items from the chain-link fence memorial, including a sampling of memorial benches and flags, and a portion of the original memorial fencing. Visitors to the exhibit are welcome to sign a painted replica plywood board, similar to the one that guests would have viewed 18 years ago.

 

Memories from the Memorial: Looking Back 2001-2011 will give visitors the chance to connect with Flight 93 Ambassadors, the volunteers who worked at the different temporary memorial locations to the present permanent memorial.

 

Ambassadors also will be on hand to answer any questions and to further explain the history the early temporary memorial features. The exhibit will include photographs and oral histories from past Ambassadors. Interpretive panels also will be on display to provide context regarding certain aspects of the exhibit, and to promote the upcoming “Trail of Remembrance,” a new trail to the former site of the temporary memorial, set to open November 2019.

 

When visitors exit the Learning Center, they will have a better sense of the temporary memorial’s transition into the permanent memorial, and how a community memorialized the 40 passengers and crew members of United Flight 93.

 

“I think we have to have a memorial here. I think it’s important for the citizens of this country to have a place to go to where they can reflect on that, remember that day and bring their children and educate them,” said Vaughn Catuzzi Lohec, sister of passenger Lauren Catuzzi Grandcolas.

 

On Sept. 24, 2002, President George W. Bush signed into law the Flight 93 National Memorial Act.

 

The Act created a new national park unit to commemorate the passengers and crew of Flight 93 who, on September 11, 2001, courageously gave their lives, thwarting a planned attack on our nation’s capital.

 

The memorial is located near Shanksville, where Flight 93 crashed with the loss of its 40 passengers and crew. For more information about Flight 93 National Memorial, visit www.nps. gov/flni.”
