All the rescue workers who lost their lives 9/11.

You know, there are a lot of heroes out there
and a lot of men and women
who are standing up for freedom
in a major way.
But the Capitol and White House
and other icons of our liberty
are standing safe today
because some ordinary Americans said
"NO WAY, we WILL NOT die YOUR way."
I am glad for Guiliani's strength
and that Blair and Bush are with us
BUT our nation is still standing
And in part that is because
Todd Beamer and his brothers
Took back the enemy's fourth bomb
and died to keep us free.
He had taken no soldier's oath,
he had no prior training
And they wouldn't let him carry
so he fought back with his hands.
Is there really any doubt
Who the Man of the Year should be?
Firemen and lawmen
carried out their risky duty
Bush and Guiliani fulfilled their solemn oath
But the men and women on the Hero Flight
Rose above any imposed duty!
Who made a bigger difference?
Who saved the greater good?
Who cut 9/11's losses?
THE HERO FLIGHT'S MEN SHOULD
GET EVERY CIVILIAN HONOR
Yes, including man of the year.
Everyone who rushed the cockpit of death
Deserves each honor we can spare.

Don't forget Tom Burnett!
