TWA Flight 800 Memorial

Flight 800 (TWA 800), exploded and crashed into the Atlantic Ocean near East Moriches, New York, on July 17, 1996, at about 8:31 p.m., 12 minutes after takeoff, killing all 230 persons on board. TWA 800 was a scheduled international passenger flight from New York to Rome, with a stopover in Paris.

During my visit to Long Island last week, my Aunt Elena took me and the kids to Smith Point beach (a place I use to hangout at when I lived on Long Island) and we got to see the memorial that was built in honor of those killed on TWA Flight 800.

Long Island - August 2011

Well me and the kids traveled to Long Island, NY on August 19th to visit family and I also got to attend my 25th high school reunion while I was there.  During out visit we stayed with my Aunt Elena and Uncle Tony. I went to my high school reunion on Saturday (August 20th) and I got to see dozens of friends I have not seen in years.  I also got to see several family members (some old, some new) that I have not seen in years and was also my childrens very first time meeting my side of the family.  I attached some photos of the visit.
