The Story

You have probably heard the story already, but this is a story I don't believe you can hear too often.  Especially in times like these.  The story is of a man named Jeremy Glick who called his wife to tell her that he loved her, and to confirm for himself what the men who had Hijacked the plane that he was now a passenger on. That they intended to crash the plane into a building  killing him, all of the other passengers and anyone unlucky enough to be in the building they crashed into. 

Armed with only a plastic knife from the in-flight meal service, Jeremy and some of the other passengers fought to take back the plane, or at the very least to stop the hijackers from reaching their target, and perhaps taking hundreds or even thousands of other innocent lives.

Jeremy, and the other Men and Women of United Fight 93 are American Heroes in every sense of the word.  There can be no more clear an act of bravery than to sacrifice ones own life in protection of others.  Flight 93 crashed in a Pennsylvania field killing all passengers and crew.  It never reached it's intended destination believed to be Washing DC.   Hundreds or perhaps even thousands of lives were saved by the actions of these brave men and women.   Their sacrifice will be remembered.

Our Call To Action

There are three things you can do to remember this warrior, and honor the sacrifice that Jeremy made for his country.
