“Freedom itself was attacked this morning
by a faceless coward
and freedom will be defended.”
“We will not tire,
we will not falter,
and we will not fail,”
“Are you guys ready?
Let’s roll!”
Flight 93 passenger Todd Beamer
When an American says that he loves his country,
he means not only that he loves the New England hills,
the prairies glistening in the sun,
the wide and rising plains,
the great mountains, and the sea.
He means that he loves an inner air,
an inner light in which freedom lives
and in which a man can draw the breath of self-respect.
Alaska Time
