A Special Tribute.

I was watching a great special done by CBS last weekend about all the passengers that died on the plane that crashed in Pittsburg which was meant for the white house that day but never made it. There were many heroes on that plane that I think stopped the terrorist from making it to the white house. The story was about how the Pittsburg Stealers organization has been donating and helping console all the families and it was extremely touching. I wish more media was played like this on TV it feels like more negative stories are played out then good ones. These people are absolutely heroes in my book and I can only imagine what if others on those 9/11 planes had tired to stop those terrorist from flying into those planes maybe things would have been different. I also commend the Steelers' organization for being so considerate of the families and donating to the cause. It is all too seldom that positive things such as this are aired and it was very touching. It is good to see "big brutes" like football players and their organization taking others' feelings into account and reaching out to them in appreciation. 

This program definitely was a great and thoughtful special. I also consider everyone on that plane a hero in my book. Not only do I consider them heroes; but, also the thousands of firefighters, police officers, paramedics, etc. who all rushed into those burning buildings while everyone else was running out. I wish there was more stories like this on TV. I mean, I know 9-11 is such a touchy and horrible thing to watch over and over again; but, if the programs focused more on the positive/heroic stories rather than the actual terrorism/negative parts, I feel that people would learn more from seeing how there was much more heroism & bravery compared to terrorism & hatred on September 11th, 2001. 

Either way, we will never forget those thousands of men and women who sadly lost theirs lives that day trying to save and protect our country. 

God Bless the many men and women who are still doing so.
