From the Ft. Worth Star Telegram.

GRAPEVINE — Family members of flight crews killed in 9-11 came from across the country Friday for the dedication of an 18-foot-tall sculpture dedicated to their loved ones.

Nearly 1,000 members of the public and community officials joined them for the ceremony marked by the release of doves, a flyover by World War II airplanes in missing-man formation and a roll call of flight crews who perished.............

Nice shots...saddens the heart though.
Drove by there yesterday afternoon and was my first time to see this sculpture.
Are there special plaques in the flower beds around the sculpture or something. Just wondering cause I noticed somebody looking closely down into the flowers.

I didn't notice any. other than the plaques below the sculptures.
I wasn't there very long. Like you, I happened to be passing and noticed it, so I went back and took a few pictures of it. Only one other person was there when I stopped, and he got lost when I got my camera out! When I passed back by it later, there were a lot of people around it.
