Inscription.
This Cross was the first memorial erected at the Flight 93 crash site, offering comfort to the families of the crew and passengers of Flight 93. In 2015, the life-sized 16-foot-tall Cross was relocated from the Flight 93 National Memorial to the Remember Me Rose Garden. Surrounded by roses and perennials and draped in a shroud, it stands as a symbol of enduring strength through faith.
