It's on this day that we remember the lost voices of those that passed on 9/11. We use this day to remember those acts of heroism by everyday ordinary people and how strangers became family through the bonds of trauma. We remember the loss of people like a 3 year old girl onboard a flight, a group of people trying to take back their plane, and first responders who died of medical complications years after running into ruins. Their voices may be lost to us, but their memory never will.
And I do want to cycle back to the people I mentioned. I’ve watched people sit on a 3 year old’s grave marker like a bench and take selfies. I have been through the Flight 93 Memorial and heard the audio recordings of peoples last words. But what kills me most is that today those First Responders will be called heroes while congress still pushes to make sure their medical bills aren’t covered by the US Government. I know people are tired of hearing about this day 21 years later but we need to use this day to respect those that gave up their lives to prevent more death.
I’m not talking about nationalism or patriotism. I’m talking about the people on United 93 who tried to get the plane back under their control. I’m talking about the First Responders who became an after thought by their own government that kept using their sacrifices to push their political agendas. People need to keep talking about 9/11 until some form of restitution is paid to the families of the First Responders that had to pay for their own medical bills out of pocket; the medical bills caused by the fact that congress dragged their butts on ensuring their healthcare.
Flight 93 National Memorial- this memorial is in honor of the flight whose passengers were able to overcome the hijackers on 9/11. The place crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. It was a somber place, especially in the snow. #travel #vanlife #hiking #nationalpark #flight93memorial #pennsylvania (at Flight 93 National Memorial) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSml9YgrjmI/?utm_medium=tumblr
Some of the pictures taken today during my visit to the @flight93_nps including the Wall of Heroes, the crash site and a hat donated by the family of Waleska Martinez, one of the passengers of flight 93 and a fellow Puerto Rican that left the island in 1987 with dreams of growing professionally just like many of us do. I highly encourage everyone to visit such a powerful place. #neverfoget #united93 #flight93 #flight93memorial #pennsylvania #september11 #stateparks #respect #trueheroes https://www.instagram.com/p/CNqdUbtB-6v/?igshid=llvdwiufaz9o
Flight 93 National Memorial in Pennsylvania. Upper area is fairly cool, impressive structure. Crash sight area of memorial down below seems like it might have started off as a good idea but then was nitpicked until every bit of inspiration and life in it was dead. But that’s impossible—never happens! :). #flight93memorial #flight93nationalmemorial #flight93 #911 #terroristattack #pennsylvania (at Flight 93 National Memorial) https://www.instagram.com/p/CD2ot2PlolL/?igshid=1g1rbm83zopll
Walking through the Memorial, could not shake the surreal sense of the place, the event and the landscape. #flight93 #flight93memorial #surreal #prayer #memories (at Flight 93 National Memorial) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9jxUXKFXpU/?igshid=aiaiw08hnia0
