Author	Topic: STS-51L and STS-107 crews memorial at Valhalla Memorial Park Cemetery, California

It is right next to the Portal of Folded Wings Shrine to Aviation, which is the final resting place for a number of aviation pioneers. Vance Brand and Wally Funk were the special guest speakers at the dedication, and Wally sent me some photos and a copy of the program that I thought others might wish to see. Given our book title, I was particularly intrigued by the use of the line "Into That Silence Sea" on the program...
