Todd Beamer of Flight 93: “Let’s roll”

Sunday sermons, weekday observations

Capsule portrait of a hero:

A strong Christian faith also carried Beamer toward his fate. Lisa recounts that their life together was founded on faith — at Wheaton, while rearing children, and teaching Sunday school at Princeton Alliance Church.

Before ending his call with Ms. Jefferson, Beamer asked, “Would you do one last thing for me?” “Yes. What is it?” she answered. “Would you pray with me?” They said the Lord’s Prayer together in full, and other passengers joined in.

Beamer then recited Psalm 23, concluding, “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil, for thou art with me.”

Immediately after, he turned to his co-conspirators and asked, “Are you guys ready? OK, let’s roll.”
