> Message Follows: Today was a tragedy for all of America and to my family,
> a very personal one. Lynn and my Niece Liz's husband, Jeremy Glick was on
> United flight 93 this morning. When the Hijackers took control of flight
> 93. Jeremy called my niece who in-turn conferenced him to 911. Jeremy
> relayed to the police what was happening as the hijacking unfolded. As
> our niece Liz listened, Jeremy told the police there were three Arab
> terrorists with knives and a large red box that they claimed contained a
> bomb. Jeremy tracked the second by second details and relayed them to the
> police by phone. After several minutes of describing the scene, Jeremy
> and several other passengers decided there was nothing to lose by rushing
> the hijackers. United Flight 93 crashed outside of Pittsburgh with the
> loss of all souls. Jeremy and the other patriotic heroes saved the lives
> of many people on the ground that would have died if the Arab terrorists
> had been able to complete their heinous mission.
> Please offer your prayers for all of those who perished or were injured
