Visitors to the Flight 93 memorial chapel will see the results of what some people are calling a labor of love.
Lou Martik, a 74-year-old retired steelworker, was asked to build a small bell tower for the site. Martik Brothers Inc. provided the labor and 84 Lumber provided the steel for the project.
The result was not so small after all. The tower, standing 43 feet and weighing 7,000 pounds, was loaded onto a truck bound for the Flight 93 memorial chapel on Monday.To get into the chapel, Martik says visitors will first walk through the tower. They will see an inscription that reads "Thunder bell... Voice of Flight 93."
