There should be no comparison to Flt93. We did help in making sure these hereos are not forgotten.

#208, thread 1

Those heroes became true Minutemen, forming a militia on a few minutes' notice and, with bare hands, defending Washington from a vicious attack. Their honor should last with the Republic.

And yet. It is true that the loss suffered by the heroes of Flt 93 is on a different scale, but those heroes knew that they could not choose to live, only how to die. They did not seek the situation out, they responded nobly where they stood. This (or any) Freep may not be life or death, but still it constitutes the heroism of seeing a duty and doing it when you could have taken your ease at home.

Is it not for that that you have received so many thanks? And deservedly so.

Yes, exactly what I meant. Anyone who would defend the Constitution is a hero to me.
