THE PREAMBLE

A Common Field One Day.
A Field Of Honor Forever.

May all who visit this place remember the collective acts of courage and sacrifice of the passengers and crew, revere this hallowed ground as the final resting place of those heroes, and reflect on the power of individuals who choose to make a difference.

Flight 93 National Memorial Expression

Timeless in simplicity and beauty,
like its landscape, both stark and serene,
the Memorial should be quiet in reverence,
yet powerful in form, a place both solemn and uplifting.

It should instill pride, and humility.
The Memorial should offer intimate experience,
yet be heroic in scale. Its strong framework
should be open to natural change and allow
freedom of personal interpretation.

We want to restore life here,
to heal the land, and nourish our souls.
In this place, a scrap yard will become a gateway
and a strip mine will grow into a flowering meadow.

But more than restoring health,
the Memorial should be radiant,
in loving memory of the passengers and crew
who gave their lives on Flight 93.

POEM BY PAUL MURDOCH
