A community wants to organize a "living flag" tribute to heroes of United Airlines Flight 93, as well as emergency workers who responded to the scene of the Sept. 11 crash.

The trouble is, 260 volunteers are needed and only 245 people live in Shanksville. Also, only 68 people have volunteered for the event, which is planned for July 4.

So organizers in the Somerset County community are looking for volunteers to wear red, white or blue for the tribute.

To register, download a form from www.geocities.com/shanksvillelivingflag or call (814) 267-3537.

Donna Glessner, a Shanksville resident who is coordinating the event, says she will move forward with the plans if she finds at least 200 volunteers by the end of May.
