(July 4, 2008)--Hundreds of people gathered Friday in the North Texas heat to dedicate a memorial to the pilots and flight attendants who died in the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Participants prayed and listened to patriotic songs and speeches during the ceremony on the Fourth of July.

The 18-foot-high bronze sculpture depicts two pilots, two flight attendants and a young passenger.

In all, 33 crewmembers were killed when terrorists hijacked and crashed two American Airlines flights and two United Airlines flights on Sept. 11, 2001.

Organizers of the memorial say the project was created to spotlight the heroism of the crewmembers whose lives were lost that day.

The memorial is at the intersection of two major streets in Grapevine, home to many airline employees stationed at nearby Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.
