Ridewiththe40.org is Launching New Pages

2011 is a time for remembrance and reflection. This year marks the 10th Anniversary of the September 11th attacks. Once again, Flight 93 Family Members will embark on a cross country journey. Now that we have ridden with the 40, we now want to travel from west to east, from their original destination to their final resting place. We will arrive in Shanksville in time for the 10th Anniversary remembrance and opening of the permanent Flight 93 National Memorial.

Riding for the Memorial

About the Flight 93 National Memorial

The development of the Flight 93 National Memorial has been, is, and will continue to be a partnership among the Families of Flight 93, the Flight 93 Federal Advisory Commission, the Flight 93 Memorial Task Force, the National Park Service, the National Park Foundation and many representatives of local, state and national organizations, agencies and interests, as well as people from around the world. This public/private partnership has been instrumental in all of the efforts leading to the creation of the Flight 93 National Memorial and in its planning to date.

Honoring Flight 93

About the National Campaign

The story of Flight 93 is one of the most extraordinary events of our time. Remembering the bravery and sacrifice of the 40 passengers and crewmembers requires an equally extraordinary memorial to pay permanent tribute to these heroes. The Campaign for the Flight 93 National Memorial, a national $30 million Capital Campaign, will ensure that the Memorial's grand design becomes a place for future generations to learn about Flight 93. To learn more about this important Campaign, watch a brief video presentation below.

The Flight 93 National Memorial Capital Campaign has been launched nationally and internationally, seeking to raise $30 million from philanthropic individuals, corporations and foundations to enable the construction of the Flight 93 National Memorial. Generous gifts ranging from the pennies of school children, to major commitments from corporations and foundations, have already helped to jump-start the campaign on a local, regional, and national level.
