Todd Beamer is a real-life American hero. Beamer left behind his wife, Lisa. 2 sons, David and Andrew, who were 3 & 1 at the time, & their daughter Morgan, who was born after Beamer’s death. Here's a loose reconstruction of the final portion of his conversation from the hijacked United Airlines Flight 93. I point this out to remind self-righteous & self-absorbed media personalities like the AP's David Bauder & CNN's Brian "Tater" Stelter that no, the media were not in fact the real heroes, nor were they our country's "moral authority" on 9/11/01. https://twitter.com/brianstelter/status/1436693571483152384
