Much attention has been paid to the National September 11 Memorial near the site of the World Trade Center, which will be dedicated on Sunday, the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks. But one day earlier, Vice President Joe Biden and other dignitaries will gather in a field near Shanksville, Pa., to dedicate a memorial to the 40 passengers and crew who died on the hijacked United Flight 93.
The memorial-which is being built in phases-is the work of state and federal governments, as well as a group representing family members of those who died. One of the driving forces behind the memorial is Patrick White, of counsel at Porter Wright Morris & Arthur in Naples. Fla., co-chairman of Flight 93 National Memorial Task Force and vice president of the Families of Flight 93. White has spent more than 1,800 pro bono hours helping the memorial become reality. Daily Report affiliate The National Law Journal spoke with White about his work and the challenges the memorial has faced. His answers have been edited for length.
