Bruderhof Peace Barn - A Flight 93 memorial 
 
(
The Bruderhof Peace Barn is a project of the 5th-8th grade students of the Spring Valley School in Farmington, Pa. These students have converted an old barn into a memorial for the victims of September 11 and especially the heroes of Flight 93, which crashed nearby. In addition they have handcrafted the memorial benches for each passenger and crew member at the Flight 93 memorial in Shanksville.  The new Peace Barn website has a beautiful online Flight 93 Memorial with pictures and biographies of all the passengers and crew.

			"The name of American, which belongs to you, in your national capacity, 
			must always exalt the just pride of Patriotism.... 
			It should be the highest ambition of every American to extend his views beyond himself, 
			and to bear in mind that his conduct will not only affect himself, his country, 
			and his immediate posterity; but that its influence may be co-extensive with the world, 
			and stamp political happiness or misery on ages yet unborn." 
			--George Washington
