National Aviation Week Commemorated at the 9/11 Memorial & Museum
The selfless actions of pilots and flight crews aboard Flights 11, 77, 175, and 93 on the morning of September 11 remain an important part of the story we tell at the 9/11 Memorial Museum. Each year, the 9/11 Memorial & Museum commemorates National Aviation Week by offering free admission to flight crew members, both active and retired, who come to pay tribute.
In honor of National Aviation Week, we recognize the flight crew members lost on 9/11 and the commitment of the men and women who continue to help keep passengers safe today.

After 9/11, Kathleen Moran's family found a jewelry box in her apartment containing a medley of small items precious to her. Her 1977 class ring represented her years at Midwood High School, where she sang and acted in school musicals. A gold broach with emerald stones spoke to her Irish heritage, the home country of her parents.
The Daffodil Project, a New York City nonprofit, will be continuing its tradition of honoring the memories of those who died as a result of the 9/11 attacks by giving away 500,000 daffodil bulbs to city residents and groups, to be planted in public spaces around the five boroughs.
