There are so many things needing to be said. That the Chapel has been
completed in honor of the First Anniversary of September Eleventh is
itself a wondrous accomplishment. I stand in awe every day at what
marvels have been created, and I stand in humility knowing that I was
not the creator of these accomplishments. My gratitude to all who
contributed to the completion of the Memorial Chapel is boundless. Each
in our own way have brought what we could in whatever way we could. The
accumulation of volunteers over the months, beginning with the first
volunteer from Uniontown, fifty miles distant from the Chapel, to the
expansion of the band of volunteers over the weekends in each month of
June, July, and August was a significant beginning of the emergence of
attention to the Chapel and the recognition by others that the Chapel
project was worthy of the time and sacrifice and hard work of others.
The insulation of the Chapel by Cambria Glass and Insulation in July was
a significant inclusion of corporate and professional supporters and
sponsors, catapulting the Chapel project far beyond any goal or
objective realistically in the scope of us volunteers The emergence of
Maggie Hardy Magerko, her husband Pete and Mr. Joe Hardy cannot be
dismissed as a casual event. The spontaneous generosity responsible for
the precipitation of so many others responding with generosity and
professional and corporate participation is astounding. The
participation of 84 Lumber Company, Nemacolin Woodlands Resort, their
resources, and the army of cooperative professionals so accurately and
so precisely interpreting the spirit of the Memorial Chapel is itself a
manifestation of the American Spirit. That so many have so completely
committed themselves, in their time and their talents and in their
generosity is a proclamation of their esteem for the Heroes of Flight 93
and a sign of their commitment that we are, indeed, one Nation under
God. It is our hope that what we do together gives consolation to the
Families of Flight 93, that this is our expression of our Honor and
esteem for all of them who gave so much, and that simultaneously, we
honor the Faith they expressed in their Creator, that without
consideration of religious differences, they were of one Faith in the
Creator from whom all have received inalienable rights. May the memory
of their sacrifice be for us a source of inspiration. May their Families
and Friends be strengthened by our love and our prayers. And may the
Lord God Creator hold each in the palm of His hands. Words fail to
express the immensity of our Love and Faith. May God Bless all of you.
God Bless our President. God Bless America! Father Mascherino

This is a wonderful memorial tribute not only to those of FLT93 but
to each and every person whose lives were snuffed out by the tragic
events of September 11, 2001. The Padre and his team of helpers have
much to be proud of with this lovely Chapel. I am anxious to see it in
person. God Bless you Father Mascherino and God Bless America.

I retired from United Airlines on 2/28/2002 after 32+ years with the
company. The events of September 11th took its toll on many people in as
many ways. My retirement has led to our opening of a new trophy/award
business called Heroes and Winners...honoring the Heroes of the past
while recognizing the achievers of today. This is the way I can keep the
memory of those innocent victims alive while at the same time, teaching
young children the difference between a Hero and a Winner. The Chapel is
beautiful...thank you all for the love that you put into the
project...it truly shows.

The chapel is a poignant, majestic honor to the heroes aboard flt.
93, and the vision, the dream of honoring those brave souls is Alphonse
Mascherino's...and God's. It is surely a testament of grace in its
conception and in the amount of people who are touched by its elegance.
Thank you, Padre. Hallelujah, Lord.

It has been my contention from the onset that while we have honored
the many deceased, innocent victims, the very meaning of what a true
hero is lays on the ground in Pennsylvania. We all know what could have
happened had those brave and noble passengers not stepped in that
day.They made the ultimate sacrifice, and I for one thank God for those
individuals, as I was at the Capitol building that morning. I have
wondered daily since 9-11 what mine and my family members fate would
have been if not for them. I thank them from the bottom of my heart and
will carry their deed with me the rest of my life.

I wanted to tell people about what happened to me. We drove to
Shanksville for the 1 year memorial service by way of the Great Swamp
National Wildlife Refuge in Basking Ridge NJ. We went to the trail head
at the Observation Center parking area. There is a tribute to one of
their former employees Richard Guadagno who was a passenger on Flight
93. We went there to honor him in a small way. The day after the
ceremony at the crash site on our way back to Boston, we stopped by the
Chapel and "ran into" his parents. I was a little shocked by
the odd coincidence and told them where we had been the day before and
they were visibly touched, as I was, by it all... Thank you for building
the Chapel, it helped us just plain folks share the grief and the hope,
I know a divine hand helped bring us together in that way with them...
we will never forget the Heroes of Flight 93!

My Heart goes out to all the families and friends who lost loved ones
on that fateful day! I can not contain my emotion when I see and hear
them talk on TV. I do not or could not feel what they must have felt
that day and every day since, but know that it must be the most trying
thing most have gone through. It all makes me realize how precious life
is and also how short it can be. If not for the Heroes on Flt 93 we may
be looking at a very different Washington DC then we are now, a
different America. All 40 aboard, each and every soul is truly a Hero
and will never be forgotten. Although 9/11/01 left a scar on America it
has also brought America much closer together. The Terrorist have failed
and always will on American Soil. May GOD have mercy on us all. GOD
bless America.

My brother, will be in his dress blues as a gift bearer, a captain of

bringing of the gifts. My boss, Fr. Thomas Baima, a known Catholic

God Bless the Heroes of September 11,2001. Our country is united
today to pray for all who lost their lives one year ago today. Also, for
their loved ones who were left behind to grieve and wonder WHY. We may
never understand the level of hate the terrorist feel for our people,
but we can feel the love and devotion the people of this country have
for each other. Instead of defeating us, the terrorist have brought us
closer as a nation, made us more aware of people in need, and made us
appreciate the life GOD has given us that we once took for granted. We
value each day as a gift, life is precious. We live each moment to the
fullest. Thank you GOD, thank you Heros of Flight 93, pray for us. Thank
you, Father Al, for your devotion and strength, pray for us. Sharon

I recently visited the site where Flight 93 crashed, I was so moved.
My parents are from a small town up the road by the name of Portage. So
while we were home in August, I, along with my children and
grandchildren left our thoughts and prayers on what little piece of
blank space was left on the guard rails and the wooden flag, that adorns
the quiet fields of Shanksville. I will retire from our local Ambulance
Service next July (2003) and nothing has made me feel so proud of what I
do as the days that followed and people that I helped in my 17 years of
service, said how honored and grateful they were for having someone like
me, that they knew they could rely on, no matter what time of day it
was. I have always shrugged off any type of attention that I would get,
because I felt it an honor to serve the people of our small community
and that they had confidence in us, every time we would walk into their
house, or crawled into a mangled car to help them out and give them
hope. I am sorry for each and every family that has lost someone they
loved. I felt the day that I stood there overlooking the crash site,
these were people much more special than I. They were a group of real
heroes,that not just a community was grateful for that day, but an
entire nation was. We will be always grateful that we had people like
those of Flight 93 to serve with "Pride and Patriotism", to
protect our country, so no other persons would have to lose their lives
that tragic day.... May these victims always have a special place in
"Heaven's House of Heroes." Indebted to those who sacrificed
for my family and me, they now will be remembered as the "Heroes
Among Us." God Bless them all, Jackie M. Engelman 308 East

Some people come into our lives and quickly go, Others stay for

We may not be the same! But we are stronger and the tears you cried, are
forever will never go unknown. hugss always, and forever...

I was visiting a friend at Indian Lake this weekend and had hoped to
stop at the site, not knowing it was closed in preparation for
Wednesday. I pulled over to the top of the closed road, stepped out of
my car and was immediately overwhelmed by the peacefulness and the
beauty of the area. It did not matter that I was not directly at the
site, the surrounding countryside provided the feelings of peace I
needed.

This is what America is made of. People who entered a plane who
looked to us like ordinary people, but were so much more. We should all
be so brave...and all be thankful for the message they sent by their
actions. All of our actions speak of who we are. Never underestimate tht
power you have in the world around you or the power of those around you.
Thank you for remembering them.

Having lost two dear friends on that flight, there is no doubt in my
mind that they both were among the passengers attempting to over take
the terrorists. Not a day has gone by that I have not thought of them
and the impact their lives had on others while alive and the impact on
others lives after death. Every one on the plane that day was a hero. My
prayers go out to all of the families with loved ones on that plane. We
are hoping to make a trip out to the crash site soon and I am looking
forward to visiting the chapel a fitting tribute to all the heros. God
was truly with all of them that morning directing their thoughts and
paths making their ways straight. Showing the rest of America UNITED WE
STAND ONE NATION UNDER GOD!

attempt at having my fraternal organization assist. apparently it fell
on deaf ears I glad you had so much support and assistance. I can only
hope to maybe help in some smaller ways here. today they had an article
about the stain glass maker here in the local paper this will truly be a

While on a hunting trip in Garrett County Maryland last week of
October 2001, my hunting buddy Jack and I decided to not hunt on
wednesday October 31 st and take a side trip to the crash site of FLIGHT
93. After stopping at numerous places around Shanksville Pa. to get
directions to the site we finally found it. It was truly a humbling
experience to see all the home made memorials, flowers, momento's, Old
Glory and the Pennsylvania state flag waving in the breeze, and the
bales of straw that were draped with OLD GLORY in the field next to the
flag poles. I am so glad to see the crash site being placed as a
historic site that will forever be a memorial to the brave souls who
chose to fight back, hats off to the hometown folks in Shanksville and
all who are and continue to be involved in it's caretaking and
perpetuality. I wish the best of luck to all you people and best wishes
to survivors and loved ones of the HEROES of FLIGHT 93. I will never
ever forget you.

really didn't have too. Thank You for this example and may your ever

My sister Pat Finnegan, from Syracuse, informed me about this
website. I just read the essay, "Thunder on the Mountain"-and
I can't stop my eyes from tearing up! God bless you, Father Al, for your
inspiration in starting this chapel. I pray for the victims of 9/11
everyday when I go to Mass. May God keep in His care the souls of the
heroes of Flight 93, and may Our Lady Immaculate, Patroness of the USA,
place each of them under her mantle of blue! We must stand for our
country and the good that is in her! We must fight to rid the world of
the evil that caused September 11 to happen! St. Michael the Archangel
and all military Saints of heaven, come to our defense! We will prevail,
with the help of God and the prayers of His Holy Mother and all the
Saints!

I've just spent a few minutes looking through your Web site--and I
can't stop crying. What a marvelous thing you're doing, to remember both
the heroes of Flight 93, and all the innocent victims of 9/11/01. I will
pass on your Web address to others, and hopefully get them involved in
your wonderful work. I hope that, someday, I might be able to visit the
Chapel in person. For now, I will check in occasionally, and see the
progress being made. God bless you, and God bless the Heroes of Flight
93!
