This evening like many of you I watched the Discovery Channel special on United Flight 93 on this the fourth anniversary of the attacks on September 11th 2001 and I was reminded what it means to be an American.
Four years later I must admit I'm guilty of compliancy to what happened on that day even though I was in the city that day when it happened. Maybe time does heel all wounds but this show helped to reopen those wounds and remind me how fragile Freedom really is.
People call the passengers of Flight 93 heroes. I think there more then heroes, I call them Americans. They displayed actions and ideals that our country was founded on, Bravery, Unity, Compassion, Ingenuity, and Self Sacrifice. Hearing the calls and conversations to their families and even to strangers you are reminded why we are doing what we are doing in the war on terror. Let their deaths and the deaths of the thousands of Americans like them remind you why Freedom must prevail. Let their actions remind you why we truly live in a great country.
