National Park Foundation remember attacks of 9/11

Friend of the National Park Foundation,
Nine years ago, we vowed to NEVER FORGET the terrorist attacks of September 11th. As a nation we promised to honor all of those lost that fateful day.

Among the heroes of 9/11 are the passengers and crew of United Flight 93 who made the ultimate personal sacrifice in order to save countless lives in our nation’s capital.

This is their courageous story…



Now, in a matter of minutes, you can make good on the promise to never forget those we lost that day. Join the National Park Foundation as we build the Flight 93 National Memorial – the only national memorial dedicated to the events of 9/11 and the heroes of Flight 93.
