    This was a tough read. It gives some accounts and quotes that I have yet to read about anywhere else. As long as it's been since it's happened, I still get sad thinking about this, but at the same time I can't help but consider the people on Flight 93 all heroes, and then an odd sort of happiness comes over me. Terrorism and terrorists must never prevail...

    Whew---- again!

    Now there are the <b>real Freedom Fighters</b>: Todd Beamer, , Jeremy Glick, CeeCee Lyles, Mark Bingham, Tom Burnett and who knows who else....

    One of the flight attendants, Sandy Bradshaw, was from my town. Her death and her family's ongoing struggle have been weekly news items still.

    In case you guys haven't noticed, that article is from the Dec. 3. issue of Newsweek. I'm getting myself a copy...

    You couldnt come up with a more powerful story in a script , there needs to be a memorial statue or something for these great American heros .
