This page is dedicated to the heros on United Airlines Flight 93. May each of them rest in the arms of the Lord... they did their job well!

UNITED AIRLINES FLIGHT 93
 
It could have been any other flight that took off that day
But this one was chosen and nothing stood in their way
A mission to accomplish, they knew their goal
Disregarding life and any living soul
 
They didn't know the passengers it would hold
didn't count on some ..... as being quite so bold
They didn't understand that United was much more than a name
It was a spirit in the travelers that they could not tame
 
They didn't count on heroes flying on that day
They maybe even laughed, when they heard them begin to pray
They couldn't see the Angels there along for the ride
Holding the hands of each hero as they stood by their side.
 
The mission they planned would all go astray
as these heroes held fast to save souls far away
Calls were sent forth to say I love you
While the minutes remaining were only a few
 
Todd Beamer was one who took charge on that day
A gentle yet determined young man so they say
Along with Jeremy and Thomas and only God  knows who
Determined to see this plan would not make it through
 
Countless lives were saved upon this day
because of the heroes who would make it that way
A calmness prevailed during the midst of it all
As the echo of Todd's voice could be heard through the call
 
"Let's Roll!"  With Angels holding them and aiding them along
They made a rush .... their spirits were strong!
It lasted only seconds but gave years to so many
For the plane went down before it hit a city.
 
I can see Todd reaching out his hand
a split second ..... before they hit land
His faith never wavering as he held his head high
Never asking God  .... the reason or why
 
Taking hold of the hand
of an angel ....while leading him to the promised land
gently guiding his soul
His voice ringing out..."OK LET'S ROLL!"
