If we had been aboard United Flight 93 and it had landed safely, we would never have known that we had been in the presence of a Man like Todd Beamer.

Wow. Great comment. How profound.

You really got me to thinking. I found the thought greatly comforting. Our greatest strength lies all about us: hundreds of millions of noble and brave American men and women who will step out of anonymity and into the battle, as Mr. Beamer did, when the time of decision is upon them. As did all the Americans who displayed selflessness, nobility, and courage on September 11.

God bless 'em.

And how profound this is!

Todd Beamer was a Great Man but not an unusual man. That is the most beautiful thing of all.
