Todd Beamer, along with several other passengers on United Flight 93, charged the cockpit in a counterattack against the terrorists who took over the plane. Out of the four hijacked flights on 9/11, this was the only one where hijackers failed to hit their mark.
20 years later, the impact of this event continues to reverberate in the hearts and minds of all who remember it. In this video, Todd’s wife, Lisa Beamer, talks about the kind of person Todd was, what he prayed just before uttering “Let’s roll!”, and how her faith helps her cope with the loss of her heroic husband.
Let’s Roll: Ordinary People, Extraordinary Courage

Todd–and all the other passenger heroes–lost their lives in a Pennsylvania field on September 11, 2001. His last known words, “Let’s Roll!” have become a rallying cry for the entire American nation. Let’s Roll! is a message of character, courage, and undeniable faith in the face of horrifying tragedy, and encourages anyone who reads it to live a real life right now . . . and to have confidence and hope for the future.

Good Morning Lisa,
I don’t know why it took me until now to contact you. I should have done it much sooner.
I am the mother of a young man who was a Congressional Page in Congress. He was in the 11th grade. He was working on the floor of the House the morning of 911.
We now know that the plan that went down in in Pennsylvania would have likely hit the Capital that day. It was hours before I could get in touch with my son by phone. (We live in San Diego). He finally contacted me through a congressman’s computer. They had all been put into a bomb shelter when the event began.
God Bless your husband. I do think of him often.
I always cry when I read this story of heroism and pray that I would have the extraordinary courage Todd Beamer and his colleagues had that day if I was tested. Thank you Mr. Beamer and your family for saving and supporting so many lives. W. Manion, MDPhDJDMBA
I Evangelist Bill Lang have Evangelist Bill Lang Ministries and have done many Gospel Messages at Flight 93. Romans 10:13 For every one who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved! I found out about the book lets roll at Flight 93. I really think a lot of the book. I feel for the family and friends of all the Victims . Thank you God Bless!
Hi Lisa. Todd’s testimony of “faith in action” continues to inspire and encourage people of faith to press on, or as Todd said, “Let’s roll.” God bless you, Lisa, as you continue to share his legacy of faith. Romans 8:28 comes to mind.
