They showed to us all how to look the Islamic evil in the eye. May we have the courage to continue.
Memory eternal to them.

God bless this man.
Lacrimosus: tearful, mournful, shedding tears
It's quite possible that this story would move even a spineless, cynical, hollow, vulgar, self-absorbed liberal -- someone who's never felt the slightest debt to the countless young American soldiers who have died for him.
Such bravery.
Indeed he is. God bless the Russian people in this hour of horror.

Greater love hath no man.
I really hope this story gets picked up by the media here.
Fabrizio must be remembered as well I agree. Any who spit in the eye of this Evil must be revered.
With the Moscow theater hostage crisis, the terrorists asked the hostages if any of them were muslim and they let them go. I wonder if the above were let go for the same reason.
There's a special place in Heaven for a man like that! G*d bless him and all the others killed and wounded...
That is lovely. Please keep it and post it often.
He has. We Orthodox do not need a pronouncement from a bishop or Holy Synod to recognize a saint. The saints are venerated by the faithful long before a local church officially pronounces their glorification.
I had though that only the Church of Russia had gained a new flock of Holy Martyrs to intercede for her--for I regard every Orthodox Christian who died in Beslan, whether St. Yiannis, or a child, or a Stepnaz soldier who fell shielding a child as Holy Martyrs. But I see the Church of Greece has a new intercessor before the Throne of God.
Holy New-Martyrs of Beslan, pray to Christ-God that our souls may be saved!
Who the muslimophiles lefties Clintonistas and Kerryites would have us abandon....
Like we did the south Vietnamese and tend to do to Israel...

He was in his early 70s when I attended with a body hard as nails; you didn't mess with the coach. He was a great role model and everyone respected him. He died at the age of 101 a few years back and had the biggest turnout for a veiwing I'd ever seen; it took most of the day for the town to pay its respects.
My father, who is 82, said Coach Sharp was a gym teacher when he attended school and my dad though Sharp was old back then.
Thank you for posting this. I cannot imagine a more heroic life, or a more honorable death.
