When Tim Lambert's dad saw news footage of the field where United Flight 93 crashed on September 11, 2001, he phoned his son. "I know those trees," he said. "Those hemlocks are ours." The plane had crashed into land that had been in the Lambert family for generations. Since 9/11, only the land owners and the victims' families have had access to the site. Tim Lambert's weekends have been consumed by visiting the site, getting to know the families of the victims and working with them on what has become a long process of remembering and memorializing. In honor of the 9/11 anniversary, we'll gather with Tim and some of the regular visitors to Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
