This is the most gripping story imaginable.
God Bless the families of these American heroes.
Once again, we, as Americans have shown that we are capable of doing the impossible, with panache and with no concern for their own personal safety.
These heroes should, by all rights, be considered members of the "unorganized militia", therefore part of the defense establishment of the United States, and at least be able to recieve the Medal of Honor (posthumously). Since, however, they will be most likely considered civilians, they deserve the highest civilian award which our Republic can grant, the Medal of Freedom, or some other such medal as may be designed for those who showed courage "above and beyond" on the day of terror. I realize that any medal or decoration cannot bring these heroes back, or even bring peace and comfort to their survivors, but they deserve the honor.
My prayers continue to go out for the repose of the souls of these departed hero warriors. May they Rest In Peace.
Keep the Faith for Freedom
MAY GOD BLESS AND DEFEND THIS HONORABLE REPUBLIC, AND GRANT THOSE WHO DIED HEROES ON THAT FATEFUL DAY, ETERNAL REST.
