Stop in for a cup of coffee
So I stopped in Shanksville today otw home to see the United Flight 93 Memorial. Awe inspiring and a humbling experience. Colton didn’t fully understand it but he didn’t make a peep as we walked the flight path and down to the impact site. On the way back up, he stopped, and said, “Daddy, bad guys crashed plane. Bad guys go jail and die, stupid bad guys” with this angry pout face he gets.
I’d explained as best I could to a 3 year old before we’d gotten there that we were going to see a plane crash site and that bad guys had stolen the plane and crashed it. When he said that, I teared up a bit. I was already fighting them back at the visitors center.
If you haven’t gone, it’s worth the trip. Completely free too.
