FLIGHT 93 NATIONAL MONUMENT - PETITION (II)

Petitiononline ^ | September 25, 2001 | Jeff Head

[Jeff Head]

Thanks. I started just wanting to do two things:

1. Record what happened for my own posterity, so they would always remember the price for liberty.
2. Send a message to the aniimals who did this, letting them know how they had miscalculated and underestimated us.

It took on its own life from there.

Thanks for visiting the site, and thanks for the kind words.

Please let everyone you know, know about the petition on behalf of those true heroes on flight 93.

[Jeff Head]

Thanks. Please spread the word!

These folks are deserving of our every effort. True modern heroes, of the Nathan Hale variety.

[mrtoby]

Well, I'm for it, but only if we can't find space for them on Mount Rushmore. Only God knows the importance of what they accomplished. God bless them and their loved ones...Uh oh, crying again :(

[Gracey]

Thanks for the flag. Mission accomplished.

Jeff, YOU'RE a real hero for taking the time and energy to put together this massive "memorial" for us to enjoy and remember. It is TRULY, a keeper.

NEVER will we forget September 11, 2001.

[Jeff Head]

FYI.

[SLB]

A very moving and emotional experience. The operator kept referring to how calm he was and how he kept wanting her to tell his wife he loved her. He descirbed in great detail what was happening until the phone went dead. It was very sobering just to listen to her retell the story of the conversation.

[Gracey]

The US Air force was tracking the plane ... it could have brought it down, though the method the plane crashed tends to discount this

This was my original assumption. However, during President Bush's speech, when he honored the widow of Todd Beamer, the look in his eye to her, nodding his head, was one of DEEP gratitude for an heroic act. Consequently, I join you in your conclusion. Duty - Honor - Country.

[Jeff Head]

Only God knows the importance of what they accomplished

He most certainly does ... and, IMHO, it was He who was inspiring them, guiding their footsteps and leading them ... ultimately back to Him.

.... and here is the HUGE difference between what is the correct belief IMHO, and the perversion these terrorists follow. God guided these patriots and heroes back to Him by inspiring them to give their lives in an act to save other innocent lives ... not a malicious act to KILL other innocent lives.

[Gracey]

It seems better to do that than miss someone who did indeed help, but we just don't know about it.

PC? True, but we surely know that these people originated the action. Let's Roll!!

[Jeff Head]

Thanks, I saw your signature.

Please spread the word.

WRT the page ... I can't explain it. I HAD to do it for my posterity ... and I HAD to send THIS MESSAGE to the animals who did this.

It took its own path from there.

[Jeff Head]

The petition calls for the memorial/monument to list ALL the passengers and crew.

It also calls for those we know were involved with the plan to take back the plane to be singled out.

Those who took action are the ones who made the difference in the plane ... and we know definitevly about several of them.

That is the spirit that MUST be recognizzed here ... along with all that died too.

Just my opinion on the matter.

[SusanUSA]

Please let everyone you know, know about the petition on behalf of those true heroes on flight 93.

Consider it done, sir!

Bump!

[classygreeneyedblonde]

all signed god bless their souls.

[Jeff Head]

Thanks, hopefull each of them will do the same and it will just grow and grow.

That's how we got the 35K signatures on the Kalamth Falls petition for the water ... that and some of us taking it to the streets.

BUMP'ed back at ya!

[Jeff Head]

Thank you fr the signature. Please let others know. Spread the word.

Again, in Todd Beamers own words ... Let's Roll!

"...in the first engagement following the terrorist attacks..."

Full steam ahead for a memorial, but I don't care for the phrase above. It sounds like a planned military response to the WTC, when in fact, these civilians deserve an even higher honor than would military volunteers. Also, sounds like it was unconnected to the other attacks. Keep it plain and on a civilian honorary level,IMHO.

[Jeff Head]

I believe it was a "planned" response. Perhaps not military in the sense that they were paid soldiers ... but definitely military in the sense that they planned a way to keep the enemy from achieving their objective.

These were citizen soldiers, who volunteered and were self inducted on the spot, true to an oath to liberty ... perhaps not an oath officially adminstered to them, but an oath saved up in their hearts and called forth when their country needed them.

In this sense it was indeed an engagement, though I will grant not in the "classic" sense. It was an engagement of the creativity, commitment, steel, resolve and faith of noraml, every day free people, who once they understood what they were up against, pitted those qualities against the regiment, fanatacism, training, indoctrination and skills of an enemy who hated and was committed against the very qualities those passengers possesed. In the ensuing engagement ... the free and the brave defeated the regimented indoctrination of the totalitarian.
