Our 9-11 Wall is intended as
a place of quiet reflection, and a tribute to those who died for America on a very difficult day.
The sun had risen brightly on the East Coast of the
United States that day, promising a spectacular pre-fall day, the kind of beautiful day that would make your heart ache,
with temperatures in the 70s, light winds, and the American sky a vivid light blue:

We call this Page America's 9-11 Fallen, although
you will note many of the 3025 people killed that day were not American citizens. Among them were citizens of Australia, Belgium,
Bermuda, Brazil, Great Britain, China, Colombia, Ecuador, Philippines, France, Germany, Guyana, Haiti, India, Indonesia, Ireland,
Israel, Italy, Ivory Coast, Jamaica, Japan, Korea, Lebanon, Lithuania, Mexico, Moldavia, Peru, Portugal, Russia, Sweden, Taiwan,
Ukraine, Uzbekistan and Venezuela.
Because the World Trade Center was, as it's name said, a trade center for the
world, there was also a small mosque in the chaplaincy center of one of the Towers. Al Quaida didn't care about that, or about
those people. The mosque, too, was destroyed and people in it killed.
All the people who died on 9/11, in fact, were murdered, as the
barbarians who did this intended, because they were in the United States on that date and at the appointed hour.
Citizen or not, they are all America's own now. Regardless of the color
of their passport the fact is, forever, they died for America.
May God Bless Each and Every One of Them, and Hold Them Forever in
the Palm of His Hand.
A Note on Flight 93:
Based on the available evidence,
CPT Jason Dahl,
Flight Attendant Debby Welsh,
Flight Attendant CeeCee Lyles,
Richard Guardagno,
Lou Nacke,
Jeremy Glick,
Tom Burnett (His
last words on his cell phone
to his wife, Tina:
"Don't worry, honey,
we're going to do something.");
Nicole Miller,
Alan Beaven,
Mark Bingham,
Elizabeth Wainio (Her last words on her
cell phone
to her mother:
"Mom, we're rushing the cockpit now,
I've got to go.");
and
Todd M. Beamer
of Cranbury, NJ:
("Let's roll!"),
when nobody knew how many planes had been hijacked, attempted
to fight off and retake Fight 93 from Ziad Jarrah and the other three armed animals who hijacked their plane on
9/11.
They used the food cart to attack the cockpit , where the hijackers
had attempted to lock themselves in, attacking single file because of the lack of width of the passenger aisle
on the Boeing 757.
We don't know exactly what each one of these individual heroes did
to take back Flight 93, and we never will, but we do know this: All of them, along with all 40 on board, were and are, real
Patriots, and Martyrs, and That They Will Never Die.
"No greater love hath man than this:
that he would lay down his life for his fellow man."
The last words spoken on the recorder taken from Flight 93:
"Shut up and sit down," Jarrah is heard to yell to the Americans
on the recorder, as if he was speaking to someone in the Muslim world state he and his kind are trying to set up.
One cowardly hijacker, speaking fearfully of the Americans coming at them, yells: "Hold the door!"
An American patriot, charging, as heard on the cockpit's recorder:
"Get them!"
The very last words: "Allah is the greatest," one of the animals yells.
The airplane is seen by a private pilot visibly rocking in the
air at 10 a.m., minutes before it crashed into the ground.
As to what actually did occur on Flight 93, the theory subscribed to by the
Association editors of this page, a theory which is accepted by many of those knowledgeable of airplanes and airplane
hijackings, is that the Americans did take back the cockpit, killed or rendered useless the animals who had seized the flight,
thus foiling their plot, but, in the course of what must have been a very heated struggle in a confined space, and without
a trained pilot among them, could not control the airplane.
None of the heroes of Flight 93 were soldiers. They were civilians, simple
Americans from all walks of life, different sexes, races and creeds. But they all wore the Cloth of the American Nation.
And they knew it. That, and that alone, is what their story,
this story, is about.
America's honor does not lie in cowering under a bed
waiting for bombs to fall.
*************************************
The heroes of 9/11 were not born
on that date.
But they were all born, in a larger sense, American.
And they knew what that meant.
Tragedy is a test of courage.
For those whom tragedy befalls, pity should not be
their ask.
For it is how they stand up to that tragedy by which
their American fiber is to be measured.

on the terms of others.
It will end in a way, and at an hour, of our choosing."
