Today is the 4th anniversary of 9/11. I just finished watching Discovery Channel's The Flight That Fought Back (Flight 93) and after four years I was not expecting the emotional onslaught that this TV show would bring. No, I didn't personally lose anyone on 9/11 - just my fellow Americans. The scene where the Pennsylvania state troopers lined up in attention and saluted the buses filled with grieving familes visiting the crash site brought streaming tears to my eyes.
I'm not one to be brought to tears easily, but if I am to shed tears, my manly pride gladly accepts these tears for these heroes that fought for their lives and the lives of Americans on the ground.
Thank you to the 40 heroes on that flight that fought the first battle on the war on terror.
My tears are my salute to you.
Flight 93 heroes, I salute you with my tears

Hello, I am a grade 12 student of John Watkins Academy. I live in Seal Cove Fortune bay, Newfoundland, Canada.. and today we watched the Documentary of Flight 92 " the flight that faught back". I was on here looking for more information because personally i feel inspired by these people. It kind of spoke to me, and said no matter who tries to make your future you have the power to try and change it
i am really sorry for these people, but these peopole were really heros and everyone should be proud of them : ) . xoxoxox my prayers are with the familes and the State of America !!!! Lots of Love!!! xoxoxoxoxox
That some Flight 93 passengers "fought like warrior poets" is encouraging for our future. For surely “we the people” are able (but are we willing?) to recapture the bridge of the ship of state, and seize the helm from postmodernist hijackers. See: www.tell-usa.org/flight93
hi... im cesiah garcia from nueva ecija philippines...
we are so blessed that we are still alive but the people in flight 93 are much more blessed because they are with jesus right now.... i love you.... mwa
