He had no tears. He was sweating.

No problem.

Heroes need to be recognised.

Too bad some other passengers did not help him.(If they did the article doesn’t say it). That was the best chance to stop the terrorists and prevent their own deaths.

IIRC, the first FDNY casualty was not in the towers, but was a FDNY Chaplin who took off his helmet to pray for a victim and was stuck by debris and killed.

by himself. Weren't there any men on that plane?

Most of them had been told all their lives not to fight back - talking and good dialogue ends all violence; don't get involved; be more sensitive

Check out Rick Rescorla’s story, too. Unsung hero who served in the US Army 1st Cavalry Division in RVN and served his company, Morgan-Stanley, sacrificing himself in the effort.

Well sure it has...

I mean, the left immediately started destroying whatever unity we had post 9-11-01 about a week after the incident.

The last thing in the world they want is for Americans to remember who they are, who are ancestors were, and why we’re here...
