"I'm not sure which one would be more dangerous. The judo instructor would know the cool flash moves...the rugby player would just rip a hijacker's liver out and eat it on the spot :o)"

After the Flight Attendants had cooked it in the microwave, or boiled it with the carefully prepared water!! Yes, this was a tearful read, but an important one. I didn't know about the heroic attributes of all those other passengers. Boy the hijackers sure DID pick the wrong flight!!

God Bless all the families who lost someone on that tragic day. They will certainly never be forgotten; I'm sure the History books will be revised to include this story.

“You don’t have to, Elizabeth,” her stepmother said. “I’ve got my arms around you.”

Petition signed !

[B. A. Conservative]

Thanks to the inspiration of these brave souls, in the future it will be a lot harder to hijack airplanes and turn them into missle warheads. And neither the Congress, the Justice Department, the President or any other arm of government will have anything to do with it. In spite of all the government rhetoric and propaganda, the strength of America is still WE THE PEOPLE!

Thank you for posting I want to print this also to remember. What motivated them should also motivate us...Love for God,Family & Country. To preserve these things is our common bond....we as americans need to strengthen that bond and be prudent in our judgement...to do that which is justice and not let our predecessors or our children down. I feel as if we are all on this plane. If I am recalled into the military. I will gladly serve with this in mind. Debate on some issues is fine,there is none on this one.

Thanks for posting this!

The brave and unselfish acts of these Americans sparked something throughout America. I went to a memorial service at our church the Friday after 9/11.

After a very emotional and necessary service, a bunch of men were talking afterwards about flight 93. In a couple of minutes all of the men agreed that their brave example on Flight 93, would have to be the standard for all passengers in future flights.

Then an amazing thing happened. Several wives had been listening to the conversation, and they said that they would be in the charge against the terrorists. Believe me, you would not want these ladies made at you! Some of the ladies had tears in their eyes, and the others had the look of intense anger in their eyes as they talked about what they would do!

When those who hate America try to lie about flight 93 and these heroes's actions, we must not tolerate that sick mental behavior.

Go to Jeff Head's site on this act of bravery to sign the petition. As others have posted, these brave men and women on Flight 93 were our first heroes in this war against terrorism! They have set a standard for all to follow!
