DECADE'S END: Flag commemorating Flight 93 (2007)


This Sept. 11, 2007 file photo shows Tom DeSimone of Malden, Mass., participating in a sunrise memorial at the United Airlines Flight 93 National Memorial in Shanksville, Pa., marking the sixth anniversary of the September 11 attacks. Before Flight 93 fell from the sky, this patch of southwestern Pennsylvania was a farmer's field, then a strip mine. Then something happened, something unimaginable and unwelcome, national and global. And this place became a place of memory. (AP Photo/Gene J. Puskar, File)
