Heros & Heroines

So I got home from the Avs game tonight and was flipping through the channels and came upon discovery news and caught the end of Flight 93, the flight that fought back.

I watched the last 45 minutes of the program and was balling my eyes out, I haven't cried like this since my mom passed. I couldn't imagine what it would be like to know that you're going to die and to actually fight back against the poeple that were trying to harm our country and our way of life. Evey single person who was on that flight was a hero or heroine, they made the ultimate sacrifice so that others would be able to continue living their lives the way that we have been living them for so long. I don't think that we take the time often enough to realize how much we owe to so many people who have made the same sacrifice so that we can have the lives and freedom that we have. I am so grateful for everyone who has given their life in the name of freedom, I wish that there was something that I could do to honor what they have done for all of us. In watching the movie (which i thought was very well done) they had interviews with the family's of the people who were on that flight and all of them were so happy that their loved ones didn't just stand there and let the terrorists do what they intended to do, they fought and did what they could do so that no one else would get hurt.

While watching this I got to thinking about what I would've done if I was on this flight. I would like to think that I would've been up there fighting the terrosits and doing whatever I could do to prevent them from doing what they intended to do. I also got to thinking about the people who were on the flight and knew that they were not going to make it so they called their loved ones and let them know how much they meant to them and how much they loved them, it made me realize that I need to make sure and tell all the people in my life who are important to me that I love them and that I'm so glad to have them in my life, I definitely don't do it enough. So to all of you out there who are in my life, even if just for a brief moment please know that I would not be the man that I am today without you and that I love you for everything that you have shown me, given me & taught me, thank you, and thank you to everyone who has made the ultimate sacrifice for all of us, we wouldn't be where we are today without you.
