Congrats on your story being published.

I established my own record of events in the weeks following the 9-11 attack.

THE HEROES OF FLIGHT 93

All of it was based on news reports at the time.

I believe there is no doubt that the passengers attacked the terrorists. I believe there is no doubt that they were struggling with them for control of the aircraft at the end.

I also believe there is no doubt that military aircraft were aloft and had orders to not allow Flight 93 to reach Washington DC. Either way, that aircraft was not going to the Capitol.

The folks on the aircraft could not have known of the fighters IMHO or their orders. They acted on their own and they did fight those terrorists. That is enough for me as regards their status as heroes and their deserving a National Monumnet.

Best FRegards.

I believe you and I are on the same sheet of music....again.

...a mysterious, low-flying unmarked white jet, military in nature, circled the area at the time of the crash.

Jeff, I know almost nothing about military aircraft, but this description still bothered me. Are there "military in nature" jets painted white and unmarked? I guess I'm wondering what would make it "military in nature" short of having gun mounts or something, and, if it had such things, why would it be white/unmarked. Can you tell me what such vehicles are used for or if they exist? Thanks.

I remember all the stories of "unmarked" black choppers which turned out to be true with black matt markings on a black plane--the uses for which are all too easy to imagine. Outside of Alaska, why white?

and their deserving a National Monument.

I had never thought of that.

If ever one was deserved.
