It is a shame that the other leaders of 93's militia are not so well known. I can't even find the name of the 6'5" rugby player who also led the way. They all died because the hijackers preferred murder to failure. Fight 93 faced doom but not forlorn. May God bless them all.

Perhaps the gift of Todd Beamer is the reminder to use this time to get our houses in order, not to prepare for death, but to make life worth living.

Let's Roll!

When Lisa Beamer heard that many of the other passengers on Flight 93 did not have adequate resources for their families, she started the Todd Beamer Foundation to provide for their children, carefully making sure that her children would be excluded to avoid any controversy.

With all the greed and self-pity that is surfacing, how refreshing that Lisa started a Foundation for others....which she will not personally benefit from. Her husband's spirit was the family spirit.

I totally agree with that. Had Shrillary von Hildebeast started a fund, it would be only to say, "Look what a great person I am" and not out of real compassion for the victims.

Heck, that's what she and Billy-Bub make a living from...self-PR.

God Bless Lisa and God have mercy on Todd's soul. What wonderful people are still out there.

Todd Beamer and the other HEROES on Flight 93 saved COUNTLESS lives by their HEROIC actions on 9-11. They are with God now, and I hope smiling at OUR response to the attacks.

Yesterday, we on the USO Canteen FReeper Style named our mascot, a St. Bernard, BEAMER, in Honor of this Hero. Please check out the Canteen, especially if you are a Vet...

Todd Beamer and the other heroic passengers on Flight 93 inspired many and yesterday their actions may have encouraged passengers on AA flight 63 somewhere over the Altanic Ocean to hear in their hearts and coming from their mouths .... LET'S ROLL ... adverting another horrible air disaster.

God Bless the Beamer Family, the families of other Flight 93 Heros and the crew and passengers of flight 63.

Todd Beamer's gift for others
Mr. Beamer inspired a new marking of Air Force One (know as "nose art",
especially to lovers of this art form that reached its' peak in WWII)
Sorry I can't do the HTML, but the link to the thread is pasted below. You won't be
disappointed if you check it out!

Reminds me of a letter that a USAF Academy wrote before he died in service in Vietnam (sorry,
but I can't remember the name).
He wrote that if he died, people shouldn't say he died for his ideals, but that
they should say he LIVED FOR his ideals...and just happened to be killed while
acting on them.

That's a real tribute...to be able to have folks say "he went that-a-way"...doing the right thing.

Another bump.
And I hope you get around to checking the link to the nose art on Air Force One
inspired by Mr. Beamer (link in post 15).
I think, given your screen-name, you will really like it.
Yes, there is an American Flag involved!
