"THE TOWER OF VOICES" is a memorial dedicated to the 40 passengers and crew of flight 93. The TOWER OF VOICES is a 93-foot wind chime- each chime representing those brave people. You are invited to come and explore this exhibit on your own during the weekend. There is no other tower like it in either 1st Life or 2nd Life worlds.
“A Hero is someone who puts his/her own life at risk for the greater good of others!”

This year the Memorial Day Weekend Tribute will be on Monday, May 31st, 2021 at 6pm SLT, "The Outsiders Memorial Day Tribute Show" will be performed by The Outsiders Dance Troupe with various acts created by individual choreographers in remembrance of all the brave soldiers who fought and sacrificed their lives for our FREEDOM. Their HONOR and DEDICATION to FREEDOM and the American Way is presented through Dance, Music, Choreography, and setting the ambiance.
The Outsiders Dance Troupe, formerly known as Fortunate Sons, originated in May of 2017. After two years on the road as a traveling troupe, they and their famous Bob Hope Theater finally returned home to Copperhead Road permanently. The Theater itself was created in 2019 by Paul Woodrunner, as a dedication and tribute to the late Bob Hope who devoted his time, kindness, and goodwill to entertain troops around the world. Every year, The Outsiders perform numerous dance events dedicated to our veterans, first responders, and heroes, who risk their lives for our freedom.
"My heroes are those who risk their lives every day to protect our world and make it a better place - police, firefighters, and members of our armed forces.
- Sidney Sheldon
