Would also like to mention the late TWA captain John Testrake who was pilot of flight 847.
His patience and cool head kept the other passengers alive.

Rest in peace. You will always be in our hearts.

REST IN PEACE, FALLEN BROTHER!
SW2 Robert D. Stethem, USN, KIA, TWA Flight 847, 14JUN1985
I have fought a good fight,
I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith.
2 Timothy 4:7 (KJV)
Eternal Father, Strong to Save
Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in peace!
We who remain hold you in high honor.
Rest, fallen brother, in this sacred precinct;
We who remain keep this place sacred.
Rest, fallen brother, among these, your comrades;
We who remain keep the watch.
Rest, fallen brother, amid these who heeded the Nation’s call;
We who remain press the fight forward in your name.
Rest, fallen brother, lay down thy burden;
We who remain have taken up the torch.
Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in eternal peace!

Yes, I remember the jihadi scum who singled out Stethem and beat him to death. RIP SW2.

And he has a nice little ball park named after him in Waldorf, Md., on Piney Church Road.
