Written by the wife of one of the men who fought back against the terrorists on the flight that ended up crashing in Pennsylvania on 9/11. She received a relayed call and heard her husband's voice saying the words "Let's Roll" at the end which is where the first part of the title came from.

Inspirational--and a good way to never forget what happened that day--and that one person can make a difference--and that several people banded together can make a difference even under impossible odds. (

This was a sad, yet easy read. The details of what happened on flight 93 were pretty riveting. Not much to review here. It was a one sided view based on the events of 911. What really did happen? I guess you had to have been there...then again, I am thankful I was not. (

Epigraph

Dedication

To Todd, my husband, my everyday hero. Thank you for loving God, loving us, and always playing hard. Thank you for teaching me patience and mercy. I love you and promise to finish our journey well. See you later....

First words

The ringing of an alarm clock dragged me reluctantly from a deep sleep at 5:45 a.m. on Tuesday, September 11.
