Howitzer

I want to say something about Flight 93. For those who don't know, Flight 93 carried 40 passengers and crew, in addition to 4 hijackers on September 11, 2001. Flight 93 crashed in Pennsylvania before it could reach its destination, presumably a high value target such as the White House or the US Capitol Building. The actions of the crew and passengers onboard prevented such an act against our nation from happening.

I applaud the actions of these 40 people, and hope that they serve as a model for all Americans to follow. Through the actions of a few individuals, a national landmark somewhere was saved. They took the initiative to do something, to defend their country. This is something that every citizen should possess. In the future, history will tell the tale of 40 brave Americans who sacrificed their lives to save an unknown, important American landmark. I hope that if I am ever presented with such a situation, I will be able to conduct myself in such an admirable way.

- In memory of Flight 93.
