FLIGHT 93

"On a fateful day in September, a trip no one would think remember...
they were passengers.

To imagine what they must have thought , as  terror on the plane was wrought...
they became hostages. 

Only in an inkling knew, decided what they must try to do...
they became defenders.

No greater love for man or wife, is to sacrifice your own life...
they became saviors. 

Now we thank them for saving lives, they left their children and their wives...
they became angels.

We as a nation can only see,  the bravery of flight 93...
they are legends.

Let not those who died for freedoms way, never let them fade away...
for they are our greatest HEROES.
