The Pittsburgh Steelers have been involved in honoring the heroes of Flight 93 almost from the very beginning, from owner Art Rooney II, to the coaching staff, to both former and current players. Two weeks ago, they hosted a dinner to raise money for the Flight 93 Memorial and yesterday CBS ran a moving segment on Flight 93. Not to be missed.

No design debate. No media noise. Just quiet visitors honoring Flight 93. Lots of them.

IT'S 10:32 ON SATURDAY MORNING. The temperature hovers around 35 degrees, and the wind fans a hard, beating rain across the snow-covered field where Flight 93 crashed on Sept. 11, 2001. Donna Wilt has just put on her badge and pulled her information kit together when three carloads of visitors pull up. She tugs her knit ski-cap over her ears and goes to work. Mrs. Wilt is one of Flight 93's Goodwill Ambassadors.

IN ITS 9/11 MEMORIAL MODE, the media have fixed their attention on the World Trade Center site in New York, for understandable reasons.
