Forty names ring out above the crash site...the names of 40 passengers and crew aboard United Flight 93 on September 11, 2001.
Relatives shed tears during the ceremony marking the ten year anniversary of the crash.
Flight 93 fell from the sky into a Pennsylvania field after passengers rushed the cockpit, struggling to take control from hijackers who investigators believe intended to crash the plane into the U.S. Capitol or the White House.
President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle walked by the boulder that sits at the point of impact and placed a wreath of flowers at the newly dedicated memorial in Shanksville, where names of the dead are engraved in marble.
