As everyone knows, there were no survivors that morning. But the sacrifice and bravery those passengers exhibited in the face of overwhelming odds still seems to resonate at the crash site. Today, it stands as a permanent memorial with thousands of visitors passing through each year to pay tribute.
“It was so touching, being there,” Debbie said. “There was such a sense of reverence about the site that you can’t help but be moved. It’s now a memorial and I think that’s how it should stay. My heart just went out to the families of all those who died there.”
In fact, Debbie was so impressed, she said she wanted to compile some of the photos she took on her visit, have them framed and present them as a gift to Sheriff Tim Gobble.
“This is a really nice gift,” Sheriff Gobble said when presented with the framed photos. “These photos are beautifully framed. I’m proud to have it and appreciate the time and effort it must have taken to prepare it. This will look great on the wall in my office.”
“I appreciate Sheriff Gobble, Keith and all the men and women in law enforcement,” Debbie added. “This is just one very small way to show them my appreciation and let them know they’re always in our thoughts and prayers.”
