From the September 7, 2014, Parade Magazine "Picks: How to Visit the 9/11 Sites" edited by Vi-An Nguyen.
On this 13th anniversary of that tragic day back in 2001. All seven of my blogs will be about this event.
FLIGHT 93 NATIONAL MEMORIAL: Construction continues on this monument in the field outside Shanksville, Pennsylvania, but a wall inscribed with the names of Flight 93's 40 passengers and crew and a long paved walkway providing a view of the crash point are open to visitors.
THE NATIONAL 9/11 PENTAGON MEMORIAL: Each of the 184 people who died at the pentagon is honored with a bench engraved with his or her name and an individual lighted pool of water at this expansive memorial site in Washington, D.C..
THE NATIONAL SEPTEMBER 11 MEMORIAL: Where Manhattan's twin towers once stood there are two reflecting pools-- each an acre in size (marking the tower footprints) and bordered by 30-foot waterfalls. Bronze panels surrounding the water list the 2,983 names of those who lost their lives in both the 1993 and 2001 attacks.
Places to Visit and Reflect.
RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
