Todd Beamer

 Dear friends and family of Todd Beamer 

  While reading about Todd Beamer I read that he was an account manager for Oracle, a computer software company. I also saw that he had to travel a lot for work and that is why he was on United Flight 93. When he left for Flight 93 that day he had left his wife and 2 children back in Jersey. He was also from Flint, Michigan until he was six years old, when his family moved. He also loved to read The Bible and he was a Christian. When Todd was in college he played baseball, basketball and also played soccer. When he was in college he wanted to be a pro baseball player but he suffered an injury. When the plane got hijacked he asked an operator if she would join him in the Lord's Prayer. He also showed courage, resilience and leadership while he was also a role model, when he said the words “Are you ready? Let's roll”. The group of 40 passengers all tried and succeeded by taking the plane back over from the hijackers, saving even more lives by putting themselves in danger. When the plane crashed it landed in a field in Somerset PA, you can still visit the memorial they have for everyone that was on Flight 93. September 11 started a 20 year long war and the planes crashing into the world trade center was just the start of it. The war later spread into Afghanistan. The passengers on United Flight 93, including Todd Beamer, are all heroes.
