BLACKFIVE: Flight 93 Memorial

Flight 93 Memorial

Posted By Blackfive • [February 06, 2005]

Nathaniel C. sends this link to a site where the five finalists have been selected for designing the Flight 93 Memorial.

You can leave comments for the judges. While they are all interesting, I liked number four the best ("The Crescent of Embrace") - maybe it was the size and scope, maybe it was the elevated overlook onto the crash site (making it more like hallowed ground).

Update 09-10-05: Part 2 is here.

Heroes & Horses

A BlackFive.net Approved Mission:
Heroes & Horses (a partnership with Soldiers' Angels) is open to any recent American combat veteran who loves and could benefit from the breathtaking beauty and unique demands of Montana's real ranch country and who craves the sense of accomplishment gained by mastering true horsemanship and skills in the challenging backcountry of America's majestic Rocky Mountains.
A seven-day working horse ranch experience is available for a wide-range of gutsy veterans at the Mantle Ranch, offering an opportunity to learn--through intensive instruction and interaction with fellow combat veterans--how to ride, pack, and orchestrate a mountain trip, as well as a variety of related equine and back-country activities on one of the most spectacular working horse ranches in the West.

Uber Pig
Uber Pig was an Infantryman from late 1991 until early 1996, serving with Second Ranger Battalion, I Corps, and then 25th Infantry Division. At the time, the Army discriminated against enlisted soldiers who wanted use the "Green to Gold" program to become officers, so he left to attend Stanford University. There, he became expert in detecting, avoiding, and surviving L-shaped ambushes, before dropping out to be as entrepreneurial as he could be. He is now the founder of a software startup serving the insurance and construction industries, and splits time between Lake Tahoe, Boonville, and San Francisco, CA.

Uber Pig writes for Blackfive a) because he's the proud brother of an enlisted Civil Affairs Reservist who currently serves in Iraq, b) because he looks unkindly on people who make it harder for the military in general, and for his brother in particular, to succeed at their missions and come home in victory, and c) because the Blackfive readers and commenters help keep him sane.
