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.

Thank you for post this. It is reflected in the eyes of HEROES.

Your post pushed me to check the USAF Academy website. I believe the fellow I was talking
about was Captain Lance Sijan, the first (and only?) USAF Academy graduate to have won
a Medal of Honor. I think one of the dormitory halls at the Academy bears his name.

I can't even find the name of the 6'5" rugby player who also led the way.

Mark Bringham.
And no mention about his life before Flight 93.
The folks on Flight 93 did what they had to do and showed Osama he'd underestimated US.
Otherwise he would not have been busy building his mansion/complex at Kandahar
on the same day the 9-11 attacks happened.
He (and Mullah Omar) trusted the Western Media...they thought the USA was a nation
of politically correct wusses, led by a moronic dope from Texas.
I think that's why Mullah Omar was offering a $15,000 reward for each journalist
that could be captured!

I don't recall Osama mentioning Flight 93 on his "Praise Allah We Killed A Bunch Of
Infidels" home video.
