Under a vivid blue sky, a Pennsylvania field whispers the names of the fallen

On the grounds near the Flight 93 National Memorial in Stoystown, Pennsylvania, a quiet hillside along the Lincoln Highway has been transformed into a living sanctuary. The piece describes Pennsylvania farmland that, while easy to miss from the road, now serves as a memorial not only for those who died in the crash 25 years ago, but also for every U.S. service member who has fallen in the war against terrorism since then. It notes that mornings in the Appalachian ridges are often overcast, but on the day of writing the gray clouds gave way to a vivid blue sky and scattered light clouds over the hills.
