Should read: "Mrs. Fierro AND I stopped by..."

Sheesh.

Were you there on 9/11/05?

Cool stuff! Thank you and your wife for going for me when I could not. I did watch the special regarding the flight including many interviews with family. Some of it made me weep like a schoolgirl.

Thanks for posting the pictures, Mr. Fierro. Next time you are near the airport, let's get together for some local fare.

No, it was on 9/17/05 that we got there.

Check out the vid clip. See also the photo with the notation I made there on behalf of FR.

Nice pix - I want to go there myself someday, and I agree completely about the vile red crescent comment!

VERY VERY cool. Thanks for sharing.

Where in the state is Shanksville?

My grandma lives in Franklin (about an hour west of Pittsburgh) and there's talk of going there for thanksgiving. I'm wondering if we could fit a trip to the memorial into our plans.

VERY easy to do. It's about 1.5 hours east of the Burgh on the Turnpike. Take the Somerset exit.

Cool. I will look into doing that!! For some reason I though it was closer to the Philly side of the state.
