At this moment, four years, ago, United Airlines Flight 93 with 44 people aboard crashed into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, after the passengers attempt to overpower the hijackers and retake the plane.
Watched the “The fight for Flight 93” documentary on Discovery channel.
40 people voted on what to do.
40 people decided to take back the plane.
40 people decided unanimously that they would not be victims.
40 different people from all different walks of life, social class, and religions decided by way of vote to fight the hijackers.
These people are Hero’s. One of their surviving family members said something very important in the interview. Their decision to fight back was the first defense against terror.
Their sacrifice and battle cry will be their legacy.
Let’s roll!
The opening stanza of Ralph Waldo Emerson’s Concord Hymn (1837) feels most appropriate:
By the rude bridge that arched the flood,
Their flag to April’s breeze unfurled;
Here once the embattled farmers stood;
And fired the shot heard ’round the world.
“Let’s Roll.”
…And to remember those heroes, the moonbats want to build a giant red crescent.
Wish I were kidding. Check out the story on Michelle Malkin and/or LitteGreenFootballs.
You will be outraged.
There were 40 people on that flight. 40 people and 4 monsters.
