"There's not much time. A few of us have voted to do something. They're going to kill us anyway, so we might as well die fighting."

Linda Gronlund--Flight 93 Passenger

You know, I had never noticed it before, but as I reread that statement, I was struck with a sense of true American pride. How many people in other countries would even think to VOTE to do something -- especially at a time of extreme crisis?

These were true Americans to the end. People of a tyrant nation would NEVER think to vote about anything.

Tears of absolute pride are welling up again -- just when I thought I didn't have any tears left...

GOD bless America! GOD bless her people!
