Seven years after terrorists crashed passenger jets into the Pentagon, USA Today reports, “the World Trade Center and a grassy field in Pennsylvania, the first major memorial to their nearly 3,000 victims will be dedicated here last week. The 2-acre site will open to the public at 7 that evening. Memorials in New York and a rural township near Shanksville, Pa., won’t be dedicated for at least another three years.
In lower Manhattan, where construction on at least seven major projects is underway at Ground Zero, a lasting tribute to the 2,750 who died there has been hindered by disagreements and competing priorities among government agencies, family groups and Wall Street interests.
In Pennsylvania, the National Park Service is still buying land for a 2,200-acre memorial to the 40 crewmembers and passengers of United Flight 93 who tried to overpower four hijackers before their jet crashed.”

Perhaps, the government and the Wall Street interest groups should take a good long look at those in Pennsylvania, moving forward with memorial plans. Perhaps, a little listening is in order. Sssshhhh……just listen….
