Work begins on Flight 93 memorial

"Let's roll," Salazar said, borrowing a phrase from Todd Beamer, the passenger who led a revolt against terrorist hijackers. The memorial is set to open by Sept. 11, 2011, the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks.

Gordon Felp of the group Families of Flight 93 said that the victims' courage inspired people to work on the project. The 2,200-acre park will feature a chapel with 40 chimes, one for each of the victims, at its entryway. A path will guide visitors to the crash site.
