9/11 Memorial For Flight 93 Reaches Fundraising Goal, But Still Needs Money

9/11 Memorial For Flight 93 Reaches Fundraising Goal, But Still Needs Money: The National Park Foundation, the official charity arm of America’s national parks, announced this week ahead of the 12th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks that it had secured $40 million to design and build the Flight 93 National Memorial in Shanksville, Penn., the only national park dedicated to the events of Sept. 11, 2001. But while the National Park Service held a groundbreaking ceremony for the long-delayed project on Tuesday, the Flight Attendant Union Coalition gathered on Capitol Hill to request that members of Congress make voluntary personal contributions to close a $1.5 million funding gap.
