Hi everybody! I am home. It was a long trip but I enjoyed getting away. It was about a 3 1/2 hr drive there. I was a little disappointed though. I guess you can say that I was expecting a little more. I know that they have worked hard on building this up but thought that more would have been accomplished in 13 yrs. Its not their fault though. You can only do so much with the money that you have. So much was done for NY yet you have 40 people on this flight that risked their lives to save others from what could of been a potential disaster in DC, yet you would think that our government would have done something nice for these people. Thanks to all the sponsors that have helped. They get many visitors. I especially saw alot of bikers today. Even when we were leaving down the mountain, there was a huge group of bikers on their way up. I am enclosing the link to my pictures that I had taken there. Its pretty self explanatory. You can read all the inscriptions. You will see the pics of the wall. Their names were engraved on white marble. I almost missed the names. I think there should of been plaques that stood out more and maybe a brief description  under each one. Maybe its just me, what do you think? They are building a visitor center as you come up the mountain. You can see a brick wall that was started in a couple of my pics. It's a very peaceful there. They couldn't of asked for a better resting place.

I am 51 yrs old and live in the Greater Cleveland area. I started smoking at a young age. I think it was more peer pressure at that time and just a few cigarettes a day until i became "LEGAL" to smoke. I then started smoking a pack or more a day, using stress as my excuse to smoke more. In reality, I realized after i quit smoking that there is no excuses for smoking. I am approaching 4 yrs next month, but I still have to work to protect my quit. I am here on Ex faithfully helping others and in return helps me. We call it here on Ex "Collateral Kindness" here is a link to my blog, 1 yr later that explained my trials in the the beginning of my quit. https://excommunity.becomeanex.org/blogs/ShawnP-blog/2013/03/14/one-year-later
