We Americans owe a debt of gratitude to those heroes on the doomed aircraft that we can not at this time re-pay. Their brave actions bespeak of the spirit and nature of all freedom loving Americans.

May they rest in the knowledge that their courage has forever burned itself upon the psyche of all Americans by their simply adage of "Lets Roll".

This comment reminds me of a quote attributed to Admiral William (?)Halsey (or at least spoken by James Cagney as Halsey in the movie "The Gallant Hours"

"There are no great men. There are only ordinary men forced by circumstance to become great."
