Dorothy Garcia, 53, of Portola Valley, California leaves a message on the Flight 93 memorial wall for her husband, Andy, the love of her life. Dorothy, who was never into running like her husband, is now in training to run the New York Marathon in November along with 15 other family members of Flight 93 victims. When asked what her husband would think, Dorothy replied, "He'd fall right over. Andy strove for excellence, was courageous, honorable, loving, humble, and he died for his country.

Look for the Flight 93 group at the New York Marathon -- you'll be able to spot them by their shirts which have emblazoned on the front:

Flight 93 Family Runners
They Never Gave Up and Neither Will We

Printed on the back of the shirts are the forty names of those who perished on Flight 93.
