Yesterday we took part in a 9-11 Memorial motorcycle run.
40 bikes each rode for one passenger of Flight 93.
The plane crashed into the Pennsylvania countryside on Sept. 11, 2001 after the passengers tried to overwhelm terrorists who had hijacked the plane as part of an organized day of attacks upon the United States.
Riders each raised $1,000 each to participate in the flight, with all proceeds going to the Flight 93 National Memorial campaign.
Derek and Gina rode for passenger
Edward Porter Felt
A computer engineer for BEA Systems from Matawan, N.J., Edward Felt was taking Flight 93 to get to a business meeting in San Francisco. The 41-year-old left behind his wife, Sandy, and daughters, Adrienne and Kathryn.
Here are a few pictures from the day!

I over-heard this young man talking to the media,
He said he was only 16, and was a JR Fire Fighter.
He WAS one of the First Responders! |

| Sad, sad, sad faces |

 |
| Part of the memorial wall, we were not allowed to get close, just for the families. |
 |
Mr. President was on his way to talk to the families, but we had to leave!
I wish I was there to see that!!!
I wonder which aircraft he was in. |
