United Flight 93 Memorial in Shanksville, PA in 2005

I had put something on that wall, I think in 2007 or 2008. It was a red shirt from my local boyscout troop, it had all our names on it signed. It said troop 45, sharpsville pa. I don't remember much the day we went there and really didn't understand much about 911 I sure wish I could go back I understand so much more. RIP all of those who had been tragically taken September 11, 2001.
