I'm an immigrant who came here around the time Heather Penney was born. I've sent this video to my daughter. This pilot is an inspiration, and not just because of her role guarding us on 9/11. What an inspiring, nice, American family.

On 9/11 she was ordered up in her F-16 to intercept flight 93 before it reached DC. Without rockets or guns, the unspoken order was to ram the commercial jet like a Kamikaze. She, with her commander, took off to do just that but turned back only when they found out the passengers had taken over the plane and forced it to the ground. She is an American hero and a great role model.
