#9-11 #Flight93 #Memorial #TowerofVoices #WindChimes  In a field amid the rolling hills of central Pennsylvania stands the "Tower of Voices." Ninety-three-feet tall, it honors the heroes of Flight 93. It will be dedicated later today, the last piece of this 2,200-acre memorial that includes the crash site, known as the sacred ground; a visitor center that tells the story of Flight 93; and the wall of names built directly under the flight path. The tower, still a work in progress, holds eight wind chimes, but soon there will be 40 – one for each passenger and crew member who died here on September 11, 2001. When completed the chimes are expected to sound like this: Hear a simulation of the wind chimes for the "Tower of Voices" Reid asked Paul Murdoch, the architect of the Flight 93 National Memorial, "When people visit the tower of voices and they hear those chimes, what do you want them to feel?" "The first thing I want them...

#KobeBryant #GiannaBryant #Memorial #LAColiseum #StaplesCenter #Funeral #RIP Kobe Bryant 's public memorial could be such a massive event, organizers are considering holding it at the famous L.A. Coliseum because the Staples Center simply isn't big enough. Our sources tell us ... a meeting took place this week to discuss where Kobe's eventual memorial might go down in the coming weeks or even months. People who were in the room say a few venues were considered -- some made more sense than others. Of course, the Staples Center is considered "The House That Kobe Built" -- but it only holds around 20,000 people ... and judging by the massive  response to his death , organizers feel they should be ready for a MUCH larger crowd. The Coliseum holds roughly 80,000 people -- and the surrounding parks are capable of holding many, many more. It seems the most logical option at this point. The Rose Bowl was also brought up as a possible venue -- since ...

#MLK #Assassination #MartinLuther KingJr #Memorial The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.was assassinated 45 years ago today. The somber anniversary will be marked across the country, including with a wreath-laying ceremony at the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis, Tenn., which is on the site where King was fatally shot. And the new Martin Luther King Jr. National Memorial in Washington, D.C., will also mark the anniversary -- it's very first since it just opened to the public last summer -- with a candlelight vigil later this evening. On April 4, 1968, King was staying at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tenn., preparing a speech he was scheduled to give that night at the nearby Mason Temple. The hotel was one of the few places in the area where blacks were welcome to spend the night, according to the Commercial Appeal, and was a haven on the road for the likes of black celebrities and entertainers such as Ray Charles, Lionel Hampton and Aretha Franklin. When King ste...
