Less We Forget


The post 9/11 world first began for America on United Airlines Flight 93. The passengers and crew came into the shocking reality that our nation was under attack, and our very attackers had taken control of their plane and were using it as an 850,000 (take off weight) pound missile.

The battle cry, “Let’s Roll” has been forgotten. The heroic efforts of these every day American citizens has been lost in the political fray of blame, hate, and denial. On April 28th this will all change; the movie titled ‘United 93’ will be released across the country and every American should take the time to see it and remember that fateful day for what it was; an unprovoked attack on our nation.

On April 25th, the families were able to view the premier of this movie and this is the opinion of one family member whose son sacrificed his all in the protection of American liberty.

“In this case and at this time, it is appropriate to get a dose of reality about this war and the real enemy we face. It is not too soon for this story to be told, seen and heard. But it is too soon for us to become complacent.

There are those who would hope to escape the pain of war. Can't we just live and let live and pretend every thing is OK? Let's discuss, negotiate, reason together. The film accurately shows an enemy who will stop at nothing in a quest for control. This enemy does not seek our resources, our land or our materials, but rather to alter our very way of life.

Be reminded of our very real enemy. Be inspired by a true story of heroic actions taken by ordinary people with victorious consequences. Be thankful for each precious day of life with a loved one and make the most of it. Resolve to take the right action in the situations of life, whatever they may be. Resolve to give thanks and support to those men, women, leaders and commanders who to this day (1,687 days since Sept. 11, 2001) continue the counterattacks on our enemy and in so doing keep us safe and our freedoms intact.”
David Beamer; father of Todd Beamer, a passenger on United Airlines Flight 93.

I would encourage you to read his entire article and would implore you to watch ‘United 93’…less we forget.
