God Bless Tom Burnett and his family, and all the heroes of Flight 93. A better example of true courage and selflessness would be difficult to find. May God's Grace shine on us, and may our faith in Him continue to grow.

I have never read this story either; thanks for posting it.

I always wonder; when a tradgedy happens - if there were not 'clues'. . .feelings; experiences of coincidences - things not particularly 'newsworthy' but that help in a small way;

. . to give one comfort or a little understanding; or act at least, as a 'red flag' to remind us that for all we know; so much of life remains a 'mystery' of sorts.

Hero: somebody who commits an act of remarkable bravery or who has shown great courage, strength of character, or another admirable qualities.

That about sums it up. May God continue to bless his family and friends.

You don't have to wear a uniform to be America's best.
Airline regulations on 9/11 said to be passive. Government knew best. No more.
The war is on. These were our pathfinders. Never again will an American Airliner be taken. Every passenger needs to know what to do.

Tears here. Thanks for posting this. I hadn't read it before and didn't know the name of this hero.

These people and what they did will never be forgotten and hopefully will inspire all of us to stay brave.

There they were, just your average Joes and Janes coming to terms with their own death. Rather than go quietly and let the terrorists have their way they engaged them in hand to hand combat. To me, the people of Flt 93 exemplify what America is made of. I just can't get enough of their story. I want to know everything despite the fact that it is so heart wrenching.

A most moving account. May God bless the families of all those brave passengers on Flight 93. They were all heroes and helped in that heroic effort in their own way, even the elderly and infirm, even if it was only through prayer.

Thank you for posting this.
Ever wonder if God has a plan for each of us? This is proof.
When something goes wrong, I know that God is working His own plan. I may not like it now, but I will when He shows me what it was.

Thank you for this wonderful story as we approach the anniversary of 9/11. I firmly believe God put a remarkable group of people on this flight and diverted more serious, major devastation to America on that day. All the crew and passengers of Flight 93 are heroes in the truest sense.
