The great people of the Flight 93 National Memorial in Shanksville, Pennsylvania have invited us to perform "September Morning" on the sacred grounds for their September 11, 2022 remembrance. We'll be singing at the official morning ceremony at the Memorial Wall,
as well as later in the afternoon at the Memorial Plaza. We are very excited about this opportunity and look forward to being joined by all of you. Details will be published as soon
