Located in the front corner of the Oak Hill Memorial Park in San Jose is this exceptional memorial.

The foundation for this memorial is in the shape of an airplane. It is surrounded by grass which has the numbers "93" inset in it. The grass area is surrounded by a walkway which is broken up by five planters. The planter at the nose of the plane has a plaque on it that reads "Let's Roll". The four additional planters have dedication plaques referencing the passengers on a specific flight and the other vicims associated with that crash in addition to those who gave their lives trying to rescue others. In the center of the plane foundation is a bronze plaque with the words to God Bless America, a painted flag, the New York Skyline, the Statue of Liberty, a painted American Flag, and is topped by a bronze eagle. The entrance to the memorial is flanked by flag poles and the date "9-11 2001" is imbedded into the ground.
