Flight 93 National Memorial - A Common Field One Day…A Field of Honor Forever.

Sacred Ground

As the final resting place for the passengers and crew of Flight 93, the Sacred Ground is the focus of the Bowl. Here is where a grove of Hemlock trees absorbed the impact and inferno of the crash. The public can closely view the crash site from a plaza along its edge. The fields of the crash site will be planted with wildflowers that bloom from May Plaza and wild flower meadow at the Sacred Ground through September. A white stone slab on axis with the Flight Path provides entry to the Sacred Ground for ceremonies or visits by families of the passengers and crew. A concrete wall will hold a band of polished white marble inscribed with the 40 names.
