I am crying right now reading those words. To think that people acted on the information they had. Bravery, honor do mean something sometimes.

Semper Fi!

"Think about it. They stopped the plane that was headed for the White House." No doubt. One of the newscasters said that the plane that hit the pentagon had the white house as it's first target and could not see it and hit the pentagon as a second target.

Tom Burnett called his wife. "Were all going to die, but three of us are going to do something. I love you, honey."

Valiant souls.

Authorities in Massachusetts identified at least five Arab men as suspects in yesterday's terror attacks launched from Logan International Airport, seizing in the central parking garage a car laden with Arabic-language flight training manuals, sources said last night.

Can you imagine if these animals had killed Laura Bush? I think we would have gone mad with rage.

Yep, if true, these are true heroes. Quite in contrast to last month's thread about the "hero" who peddled his bike around France.

He's not. They are.

Let us avenge the deaths of these warriors. They have as you accurately reported, displayed remarkable clarity as they faced death. Either death...without purpose, or death...with the ultimate human purpose of the highest order. Self sacrifice / sacrifice for others. Bravo !

When we were watching the first accounts this morning on FOX, I told my wife that there was NO WAY these terrorists would have settled for knocking out a portion of the Pentagon, when there are SO MANY other lucrative targets in D.C. (Especially the White House, or the Capitol Building). I said it was likely that the passengers and/or flight crew had struggled with whoever was flying the plane, and made them crash short of their real target.

God bless these people. Can we all say that we would have done as much?
