Tribute To Todd Beamer 9-11

Dear Todd, Thank you for saving so many lives in Washington , DC. A true American, you! It’s heroes exactly like you. Who make me so proud of this land, As I stand under the red, white and blue! “Let’s Roll,” you told your team! As your stormed the cockpit, full of our enemies, a nightmare, not a dream. The terrorists had to fight your scheme. Those devils crashed it into Shanksville. And thus, saved DC, it stands there still! We do not understand your strength. We fear being patriotic at any length. We are not thankful for your deed. The country forgot freedom is but a seed. I pray this country is once again, whole. Where we, like you, do the right thing, And with your braveness and courage, say.. “ Let’s Roll!” With thanks, from my red,white and blue heart! Panagiota Romios,family and friends 9/11/2022

Hi Prince de Mino! I agree with you. One way, is by actually opening our mouth, or even penning what we really think. Too many here hide their patriotic stands. I never advocate hateful or disparaging comments. If you don’t agree with a Poet fine……demeaning any poet in a public forum, not acceptable at this site. Go to Twitter or Facebook. Or do not read the poet. Or soupmail the poet. Poetry is about all of life. Beyond Butterflies!!!LOL..Pangie xx

Yes, So many lessons from 9-11 and one I remember well was “hero.” On 9-10 actors and baseball players were “heroes”—but on 9-11, we knew better. Nice tribute dear poet <3 ps

Indeed it was a special day..My daughter went to the 9/11 museum in NYC.. she said she could not stop crying all the way through. We adore musicians and sports heroes with a fanaticism! But Todd! Whoever thinks of him?? And all those people on four planes who perished at the hands of madmen? Near3,000 died in the Twin Towers, Pentagon. Never Again!! Bless you, Pangiexx

Pangie, add my name to the list of those who are grateful for Todd Beamer and the others on flight 93 who acted with heroism, valor, and absolute selflessness to thwart the terrorists' plans to kill many more. An inspiration to us all. Thank you for honoring their memory in poetry, my friend ~ John

John, dear friend! Such love of country and his fellow man! Now we have an unknown number of terrorists crossing the totally unsecured southern border from terrorist countries….now, it’s our turn to be alert and take action.i If you see something , say something!I know the mainstream media hides this fact. I refuse to hide it. Our country is in grave danger. Plus, our homegrown Americans killing others. We must “roll “ to keep the USA safe and sane under God! We can do it! Thank you, John,…Pangie xx

Glad I chanced to look back here. My reply was missing? Wow! Men act with courage. Many die or the Fed goes after good folks. We have a fascist FBI, who invaded 40 people. Mike Lindell, The Pillow guy….was one. The FBI took his cell phone. The FBI should be renamed the KGB, comrade! Maybe Biden will pound his shoe on the desk like Kruschev. Pangie xx

I am not excellent! He is the one who is. I guess movie stars and musicians are today’s heros, had that plane hit DC, untold thousands might have perished! I say this. You are a hero for commenting to his brave deed. Americans don’t care about Beamer? No. What a sad statement. Only 2 Americans did.. You and Elena. We deserve all the evil people we put in office. Thanks GW…Pangie xx

It’s hard to imagine how horrific it was for the passengers and crew on flight 93, how brave they we’re to avert the plane from the intended destination the hijacker’s had planned. A wonderful tribute to Todd Beamer you have written Pangie, well done… Belle

Oh, Belle, I have seen the movie about the fatal flight, on TV. It gives me chills! Todd Beamer’s Mom..Imagine how she felt, knowing her heroic son was leading a team to fight with hijackers. It makes my heart Juno into my throat! Americans cheer on those in office who think freedom is dangerouss?. Not Todd Beamer…I really don’t understand why creepy, lying people in office are so adored here. But~ they are. Thank you for understanding who Beamer was, and the untold lives, he saved in DC.

Heya Pangie, it’s a damn shame Todd and the other passengers could not land the plane, but they did go out on their own terms and not the cowardly hijackers, I believe most people are thankful for their deed, I certainly am, and I’m not even American, cheers David

David, heya from the USA. Seems you and Tom do understand that sacrifice! Thus far, the only American who commented was Elena! It pains me to think my fellow Americans adore butterflies more than freedom. I really don’t think this country will be free much longer.! We respected each other on 9/11 and we’re were not staring in the face of fascism as we are today. Freedom seems a joke and insignificant these days. Your friend and American patriot, Pangie xx

You are beloved to me for many reasons, As a friend, sunshine on my rainy days, and you have been to the USA and sends God’ blessings upon us! Tom, how we need that! Courage, in the face of one’s enemies,is what keep our nations going. Was watching Queen Elizabeth’s royal casket driven from Balmoral to Edinburgh in the wee hours here. I have great respect for your country and the Royals. I must add, the English, especially. Such class and a heritage of literature. Friends for so long, Tom. Thank you. Condolences! Will be watching the BBCA this week. With my love and mutual respect, Pangie xx

Twenty-one years ago terrorist attacked the United States and murdered thousands. These cowards hated freedom, capitalism, freedom of religion and the United States. The patriots of Flight 93 will never be forgotten in my heart.

Indeed, Elena. An accurate summation. Our nation is ashamed of patriotism, now.. it my opinion.There is hatred of free speech, freedom of thought, via censorship and jailing and persecution of the innocent. I fear the years ahead as I see freedom dying….lawlessness reigns…Mandates steal freedom of choice. I pray for the USA.. Thank you,,,Pangie xx with love.
