Petition to Establish a National Monument at the Crash Site of Flight 93
Petitiononline ^ | Sep 21, 2001 | Jeff Head

Posted on 09/21/2001 5:05:29 PM PDT by Jeff Head

To:  The President and the Congress of the United States

Whereas passengers and crew of United Airlines Flight 93, in the richest traditions of American bravery, courage and commitment to the ideals of liberty, did resist and fight foreign terrorists who had taken control of their aircraft, and,

Whereas the resistance of these individuals either contributed to, or caused, the crash of this aircraft before it could reach the intended target of these suicidal terrorists and enemies of the United States of America, and,

Whereas by contributing to or causing the crash of there own aircraft these individuals undoubtedly contributed to the saving of hundreds, if not thousands, of more innocent lives during theattack on America on September 11, 2001.

Therefore, let it be petitioned to the United States Congress and the President of the United States and resolved that:

A National Monument and Memorial be erected at the crash site near Shanksville, PA, where these brave Americans ended the evil designs of our enemies that day, with no regard to their own lives or safety, and,

That said Monument and Memorial stand as a witness at all times, for now and forever, that Liberty has a price, a price paid down through they history of our nation and now paid by these dear patriots who gave their all to protect the lives and liberties of their fellow Americans, and,

That a an inscription of all the names of the passengers and crew of that aircraft be had there and that the names of those who are known to have participated in the resistance to, and attack on the terrorists be noted, namely:

Todd Beamer
Sandra Bradshaw
Thomas Burnett
Jeremy Glick
Linda Gronlund

and any others shown to have been actively involved in the plan to retake the aircraft, and,

That this Monument and memorial be established and built with all due haste, and that it be opened year round to any American desiring to visit.

So petitioned and signed as U.S. citizens.

Sincerely,

SIGN THIS PETITION

I believe, as a people, we owe it to the memory of these Heroes of Flight 93 to erect a monument that will be a lasting memorial to their sacrifice, bravery, patriotism and courage.

Please forward this to everyone you know.

IMO, the best thing we can do to honor the victims is to rebuild the towers bigger and better.

Agreed. but these people helped prevent more victims ... and their bravery and sacrifice should be honored separately IMHO.

If you can ever persuade any tenants to lease the offices.
Or workers to go back up 110 floors...

Jeff, why this petition? From everything I've been hearing, it isn't 'if' but 'when'. The Coal Company has already agreed to donate the land, and the Governor is already making preliminary plans.

This is about as close to a done deal as you can get.

Jeff...I'm so glad you started this petition. I have been thinking that a monument needs to be erected on the site where the first battle against terrorism was won by these brave Americans on Flight 93!
