Yes, as others write here, God's blessing be on you, with you and the soul of your dear, departed and heroic father.

I am really glad to have found this thread because otherwise, I'd have missed seeing this tonight.

Thanks, and again, God bless you and the soul of your father.

[calljack]

I read it this way (paraphrasing)
Our 4th string cheerleaders (a random sample of average americans) defeated the very best that years of terrorist training and planning could come up with. The average americian can become very unaverage in an instant, as your father did. Prayers for you and your family.

I had heard there was some footage from the Wildlife Center. Did you see any of it?

Richard was a trained law enforcement officer and was a field warden prior to his being assigned here. I think he was from NJ?

[Arizona Carolyn]

I saw it advertised; will make a point of watching it. God bless you.

Thank you Chris, your Father was a hero. Prayers for you and your family.

Pray for W and Our Freedom Fighters

"It is really amazing what the determination on the part of one man can do to many thousands." General George S. Patton

Thank you for letting us borrow your Father.

[null and void]

I'm damm proud of your dad and his fellow passengers.

Because of them, who knows how many thousands got another chance to hug their kids that evening?

Because of them, no one will ever again succeed in hijacking an airliner.

Because of them, the islamofacists have learned that Americans, even randomly selected untrained and unprepared Americans, are more than up to stomping their best into a mud hole, and stomping the mud hole dry.

Because of them, they have been afraid to attack us at home ever since.

It was one of America's finest hours. A shining beacon on our darkest day.

As Patriot Hooligan said:

Thank you for letting us borrow your Father.

God Bless You...we'll be traveling this weekend, but will make it a point to make it to our hotel and will be watching.

As we, together, relive the horror, as well as the heroism ...it is my prayer that you will draw strength from the thankfulness and pride of a grateful nation as you watch through your tears.

[JulieRNR21]

Chris....God Bless you & all your family.

Your father will always be remembered as one of the Americans who first began the fight against terrorism on that horrific day.

When I first heard that a plane had gone down in a field in PA....I felt that some brave Americans had chosen to give their lives to prevent that plane from being used as a missle against other Americans.

It was a glimmer of hope and inspiration for all of us on that dark day.

Last Fall my husband and I made a pilgrimage to Shanksville, PA to pay our respects to those forty angels on Flight 93.

Seeing the 'memorial' created by ordinary people was a very moving experience we shall always carry in our hearts.

As I gazed out to that sacred ground where they entered the earth, I was moved to tears as I said 'thank you' to them.

[stratman1969]

God Bless You, Chris. I'll be watching this on Sunday and I'll never forget what happened on 9/11/01.

[ladyinred]

Chris, thank you so much for this report. I will be sure to watch this program, in fact, I wouldn't miss it as I believe the passengers on this flight were all heroes. I can't even imagine your pain, or your anger, but I promise you, this woman will never forget, not ever! God bless you and your family.

[stratman1969]

There is a memorial in downtown San Rafael CA for a passenger of flight 93, Lauren Grandcolas, who was from the area.

[Edgewood Pilot]

Thank you, Chris.

[used2BDem]

Screen and keyboard blurry all of a sudden. You, your heroic Dad and family are in my prayers and have my respect. Donation to follow.

[GOPJ]

My prayers are with you and yours. I'm so sorry this happened to your Dad -- and to all of us.

[JSteff]

"I had no idea anyone connected so closely with Flight 93 was on FR. God bless you and your family."

I think most would be surprised (maybe shocked) at who visits and participates in FR.

I wish Chris and his family my sorrow and prayers.

[aposiopetic]

My father died in the first few minutes of this war. He loved this country and his body was slammed into the ground at 580 mph, shredded into pieces and incinerated in ignited jet fuel. Simply because he wanted to go for a hike in Yosemite park with his friends. Barbaric.

Thanks, Chris, for sharing this. What an example he and his fellow passengers have left for us, to live worthily every last moment we are given.

[iThinkBig]

Thanks for posting this Chris. It must have been very hard. We are proud of you and your dad. I hope he got to choke the shit out of the terrorist slimes as he was going down a hero. We will extend the same quarter as our enemy gives us. NONE. We will NEVER forget!

The passengers on Flight 93 saved the Capitol building and all in it, including First Lady Laura Bush.

But mostly they saved our honor. They stood up to evil, and let the rest of us swell with pride in our fellow Americans while tears streamed down our faces.

With President Bush, I also have said many times, "God bless their souls."
