Matthews Intl. Corp. (Pittsburgh) is partnering with former NFL running back Rocky Bleier to introduce a series of 9/11 commemorative plaques. Matthews will donate a portion of the profits from the plaques, which honor Americans who lost their lives on 9/11, to the Flight 93 National Memorial in Shanksville, PA. Flight 93 was famously deterred by passengers who broke into the cockpit and diverted a planned crash in Washington D.C. The Flight 93 Memorial has also been supported by the 93 cents for Flight 93 campaign, which included semi-truck wraps promoting the cause.
