At the monument’s multimedia visitor center located around the crash site in a tranquil park landscape, you get goosebumps over and over again as the voice of passenger Todd Beamer comes off the tape, who summoned all his courage in the extreme need and gave the other passengers the decisive signal to fight: “Are you ready? Okay, let’s roll.”
Before that, Beamer, like many others, had said goodbye to his family forever over the phone.
Two years ago, on the 17th anniversary, Donald Trump referred to the projectors and other passengers as “heroes” at the public funeral. As men and women who “showed the whole world that no force on earth can conquer the American soul.” The Shanksville memorial is a message to the world: “America will never surrender to tyranny.”

And if Trump (who arrives with first lady Melania) and the adversary Biden (who is accompanied by his wife Jill), who have never gotten so close in the election campaign, manage to keep the event free of poisoned campaign tones on the ground sacred. Because it is clear that the electoral campaign is a central reason for the double visit. Pennsylvania is one of the most controversial key states on November 3.
