From The Daily Beast,:
It’s the only one of the three major 9/11 memorials that’s still not fully funded, and many are wondering why. The final resting place of the 40 people on United Flight 93 in Shanksville, Pa., will have a low marble wall carved with the names of the passengers and crew. The memorial will be officially dedicated Saturday in time for the 10th anniversary of the terror attacks, and be open to the public the next day. But the funding is still $10 million short of the $62 million needed, and Congress has allocated only about $14 million. The site still looks like it did 10 years ago on the morning of Sept. 11—a rolling meadow of grass and wildflowers.
$10 million short? Holy cow. Those people on that plane saved Congress’s bacon that day. The object was the Capitol. Had those brave souls not brought that plane down, every member of Congress present that day, not just at the Capitol but also in the surrounding area, could have very well become vaporized. It is time to find the funds. Perhaps they could give up some of their salary to help with funding. Perhaps they could put up pay pal on all congressional sites. This situation is inexcusable. I feel confident the American people would be more than willing to donate towards a memorial at Shanksville, Pennsylvania to honor the dead.
