Ten years ago this Sunday a group of heroes tried to recapture flight 93 from the 911 terrorists. These brave passengers sacrificed their lives in the attempt and possibly saved hundreds of innocent people on the ground in Washington DC. For me it's tough to define what a hero is but in this case the word almost is not good enough. If America lasts another thousand years the story of these men huddled in the back of the plane planning their counter attack will still be told. The phrase "Are you guys ready? Let's roll" will always be remembered as the rally call from Todd Beamer as he and a few of the other men on the flight headed toward the hijackers, intent on not being pawns in the hijackers suicide attack. Heroes? I say yes.
