9/11 Flight Crew Memorial

Shortly following the events of 9/11 an American Flight Attendant, Valerie Thompson, formed a foundation dedicated to the memory of the professionals who crewed American Airlines Flights 11 and 77 and United Airlines Flights 93 and 175. She and her husband, Dean, continued their vision for six years joined by numerous members of the aviation community and others. On July 4th 2008 the 9/11 Flight Crew Memorial was dedicated in Grapevine, Texas, just north of Dallas Fort Worth International Airport with almost a thousand in attendance. The City facilitated the gift of the site from the Westwood Development Group and has provided landscaping, parking and benches. The site is located on the SW corner of Northwest Highway and Texan Trail in the new GrapeVine Station Development and provides outstanding access to the public. The 9/11 Flight Crew Memorial Foundation has donated the Memorial as a gift to the City who has incorporated the Memorial into their Parks system. The 9/11 Flight Crew Memorial has been fortunate to receive the enthusiasm and support of this close-knit aviation community. We encourage you to visit the 9/11 Flight Crew Memorial as we remember the events of 9/11
