'LET'S ROLL': Todd Beamer's dad talks about a crucial 20 minutes on 9/11

Todd Beamer was one of several Americans who spared our capital from a second terrorist attack. His Dad talks about what we may not have known from 9/11

[@morganneff1278]

I was at the memorial today. I well up with pride when I hear him say "Let's Roll." He wasn't going down without a fight. He brought the American fighting spirit right to the enemy. Stand up like Todd.

Todd beamer and the other's who helped fight back on flight 93 are angel's of the sky including the flight crew god bless them all ❤🎉

He actually did “go down” with a fight. But it’s a fight taken to the hijackers

Just this past June I went to the 93 memorial. Have been wanting to go for sometime now. It was absolutely the most beautiful, spiritual event in my life. Peaceful, yet spoke volumes. When I saw the marble with Todds name on it, I lighty placed my hand on his name. I will never forget that moment. Everyone should visit this memorial.

[@FFEMTB08]

I was in 3rd grade, English class to be specific that day. While I never knew Todd, I think of him every September 11th, even other random days during the year. I had the honor of seeing his name at the 9/11 memorial. In 2001, for my little all start softball team, our uniform patch had his legendary, “Let’s Roll” on the patch. ❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸

What makes these heroes even more incredible is that they made a conscious decision to wait until they were over rural ground before storming the cockpit. They knew crashing elsewhere would lead to ground casualties.

I'm not an American but I cried so much reading about UA93. I was 2 years old when the attack happen. Seeing footages of the event was harrowing even as a Filipino who's never been anywhere but the Philippines. I know there have been catastrophic and violent responses by the US government in the aftermath of the attack but it's kinda difficult to blame them. The great heroism, courage, and sacrifice that the passengers made on UA93 was enormous. I almost felt like I'm an American while reading about it because my heart swelled with so much pride and I cried. It's such a shame that many young people in America have no idea what September 11 means.

Your heart & soul is blessed for “seeing” true heroism at such a young age😇 Your response sounds like a boy I knew back then who became a man that day; he died for his Country but knew sacrifice for Country didn’t always come w/bloodshed. He was actually working on graduate/master’s degree in early childhood education 😂😇 The emoji fitting not disrespectful; you’d have to know him to to know that but 🤷 I’m close to rambling about every time he got “excused”aka sent to principal’s office bc of disruptions so I’ll stop w/these words; a hero is anyone who gives their life to the betterment of our Country, so even if you’re an IT geek maybe give a little time to a worthy cause ❤
