Secretary Burgum Compares Flight 93 Memorial to Gettysburg and Pearl Harbor: ‘These Are the Points in Time Where It Splits Time’

EXCERPT:

BURGUM: “We’re at the roots in the beginning of our country, is this — the country is the Declaration of Independence was signed 250 years, ago, the courage it took for people to do that, knowing that if they weren’t successful, that they themselves may be tried and hung. The courage it took for the battles here at Gettysburg in Pennsylvania. These are all moments, whether it’s the signing the Declaration and then the Gettysburg, national park location, where the Declaration was signed, national park location. Here, at national park location, the Pearl Harbor, national park location. These are the points in time where it splits time. We remember the world before that moment.”
