STOYSTOWN — While a volunteer crew was planting perennials at Remember Me Rose Garden, plans for a visitors center and a monument to fallen firefighters were beginning to bloom.
Site work was getting underway at the 13-acre garden, designed as a living tribute to the heroes of United Airlines Flight 93, to develop a 1,200-square-foot visitor space this summer.
