Yes, I know that this isn't "Breaking News", but I figured that a lot of Freepers would want to know about this foundation established by Lisa Beamer and her family in memory of her courageous husband.

God bless her and her family!

Are we sure this is for real? A P.O. box is listed for donations by mail.

My desire is that this Foundation honor Todd’s memory and demonstrate the love of Jesus Christ by bringing love, peace, joy, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control to charitable organizations and causes.

Beautiful words. Words that show the spirit of a nation that responds to hatred not with more hatred and blind acts of revenge, but with love, sympathy and a strong commitment to justice.

"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends" - John 15:13 (KJV)

There were at least two other men who were together with Todd Beamer when they "rolled" against the hijackers. One of them had the last name Glick and the other man, I wish I knew his name-Does anyone know?

Beamer's sons will grow up knowing that their father was one of the greatest men who has ever lived on Earth. Our country is blessed by God for giving us the Beamers and the other men whose examples of self sacrifice were out of love and for Jesus Christ. We have a lot to live up to in this country because of their example and their Faith.

I know that day on the plane there was a fourth man with these three men just as there was a fourth man in the firery furnace with Misheck, Shadrack and Abegnigo. The fourth man? He is the Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God.

The hijackers had the spirit of Anti-Christ because they were against all that Christ stands for. It is a shame and a waste that they were deceived and did not have the Love and Faith of Jesus Christ in their hearts.

But we rejoice that Beamer, Glick and the others had the greastest love possible for a man to have by laying down their lives just as Our Savior Jesus Christ laid down His life for us and for them. We rejoice in knowing they have received their reward of eternal life with Jesus Christ in the presence of Our Father, God.

I will put a link up to it on Free Britannia later today. Best wishes and prayers to Mr. Beamer's family. "Let's roll".

Best Regards, Ivan

"Todd Beamer, Jeremy Glick, Mark Bingham, and Lou Nacke.

I would like to see the others get recognition as well. Don't get me wrong I too think Todd Beamer is a true hero, but so are the others.
maybe call it the Beamer, Glick, Bingham, Nacke Memorial Foundation. Or BGBN.
The others miss their loved ones just as much, and it probably hurts to not see their names.
