The National Park Foundation says two former presidents and the Speaker of the U.S. House will host a fundraiser in Washington for the Flight 93 National Memorial in Stoneycreek Township, Pa.
The foundation says Monday that former President Bill Clinton, former President George W. Bush and House Speaker John Boehner will host the benefit on May 15. The bipartisan event aims to secure funding for the complete memorial, including a Tower of Voices and a learning center.
The first phase of the memorial was dedicated last September. The site honors the 40 passengers and crew members who died when the airliner crashed in a field about 75 miles southeast of Pittsburgh on Sept. 11, 2001. Passengers fought terrorists for control of the hijacked plane that was targeting Washington.
