33 flight attendants and pilots died on 9/11. Grapevine has a remarkable memorial honoring those men and women. The concept is that they were the very first responders to 9/11. The memorial also honors the 343 New York firemen and 71 New York policemen who died that day. Here you see the firemen’s marble obelisk listing their names and bronze figure. The flight crew statues are in the center of the memorial. The site was chosen so planes flying into and departing from DFW airport from the north could see the memorial from the sky.
It’s been a very moving day here so must be doubly so in your country. Just an unbelievable thing to see as it unfolded….never to be forgotten & those who died must be always in our thoughts.
A good friend of ours who worked for the Port Authority Police Dept. in NYC lost his entire unit. He had to go to a meeting that morning kept him out of his office. He was on his way back into work when the first plane struck the tower where his office was. I hope we never forget what happened on this day. This is an amazing tribute to those who died in this horrible act.
