The Entry Portal to the Flight 93 Memorial frames the sky along the path of Flight 93 to the crash site. Marking the flight path, a walkway leads through the entry plaza to a sloped glass plaque inscribed with the Flight 93 National Memorial mission statement. The end of the Entry Portal is open, leading into the main memorial area. Here, the Flight 93 Visitor Center will serves as the interpretive and educational hub of the Park, featuring exhibits about the history of Flight 93, the passengers and the site, and displays of artifacts that have been left at the temporary memorial site.
