Jack Grandcolas remembers waking up at 7:03 that day. He looked at the clock, then out the window, where an image caught his eye — a vision that looked like an angel ascending. It was 10:03 a.m. ET. And United Flight 93 had just crashed in Pennsylvania.http://apne.ws/5oppDSW

Flight 93 was the fourth and final plane to be hijacked on Sept. 11, 2001. Realizing the hijacking was part of a broader attack, passengers decided to fight back and try to regain control of the plane. All 44 people on board were killed when it crashed. http://apne.ws/phbBFW4 pic.twitter.com/tifUt4HX9W

“What they did was amazingly dramatic,” Grandcolas said. It was "a selfless act of love to conquer hate.” For the 20th anniversary of 9/11, Grandcolas plans to travel to Pennsylvania to visit the Flight 93 National Memorial for the first time since 2003.http://apne.ws/KlgIuiP

He had decided to wait to return to the memorial, instead spending the anniversary doing things Lauren loved. “Every year it’s a gut punch,” Grandcolas said. “We will live with the scars for the rest of our lives.”http://apne.ws/cxcuAHF
