"United Flight 93", written by Belva Gray.

By Barbara Bussa and beautifully

The Flight 93 Memorial Quilt represents many aspects of our nation and
its people. Incorporation of the US Flag
represents each individual aboard Flight 93 as being from all corners of our
country which in a moment of terror,
banded together and fought against terrorists who attempted to take more
lives on the ground. The quilt includes a
representation of United Flight 93 atop the Shanksville landscape. Photos
are 5" X 7", their names embroidered.
May the families of Flight 93 find solace in knowing we shall never forget
your loved ones, the Heroes of United Flight 93.
Many thanks to whom have assisted us in reaching out to families.
Carole O'Hare, Bill Doyle, Mary Fetchet and the Flight 93 Community
