TERRORISM I visited the Flight 93 National Memorial yesterday

It's off Route 30 near Somerset PA.

If you decide to visit, please allow yourself about three hours to properly absorb the sacred nature of this location. The passengers and crew prevented a much larger loss of life with their actions on September 11 2001.

It's not a place for loud talking/gleeful antics: it's the place where 40 people died due to an act of mohammedan terrorism on OUR OWN SOIL.

It's a mass American gravesite and a warning that it could happen again. It's a place of solemn reflection and prayer. It's a place that exhausted my soul with grief and renewed hatred for the agents of Satan who perpetrated this callous act.

May God the Father, creator of Heaven and Earth be with us all. Please visit this place and tell the stories to the young ones.

May we never forget.

May we take appropriate actions when it does happen again, regardless of the form in which it appears. The passengers and crew of Flight 93, God rest their souls, have shown us that we have to fight back when confronted with evil.

Even if it means our own death. So be it. This world is not our home.

Thank you for sharing this place, and your impressions, with us.

Time's dulled the edge of that grief and fury, but perhaps it's one
of the rare instances when we're better off keeping the pain razor
sharp and fresh.

Yes ma'am, I concur wholeheartedly. It needs to be on TV daily, several times a day.

Bump for D-Day (a bit late). If I knew Vice President Pence was to be in Bradford PA, I would have extended my visit by one day. Bradford is an easy drive east from the Flight 93 Memorial.

Also great for antiques hunting.
