Wish Comes True for Widow of Sept. 11 Victim
The widow of Andrew Garcia, a passenger on United Flight 93, told the FBI that all she wanted from the wreckage of the Sept. 11 crash was her husband’s wedding ring, inscribed with “All my love, 8-2-69.”
Agents warned her that they probably wouldn’t find the ring in the Pennsylvania field where the plane went down.
But last week, two FBI agents brought her a ribbon-wrapped package containing her husband’s wallet and a velvet pouch with the ring inside.
“That was the best Christmas present I could have had,” Dorothy Garcia said. “It was a miracle.”
