Mr. Burrnett
May God Bless you for your bravery. You stood for freedom and heroism on Sept 11, 2001. It is still hard to believe that 9/11 actually happened in America in this day and age. You lived a very wonderful life. You and the rest of the crew and passengers on United 93 will never be forgotten for what you did. You stop evil and you saved lives. Rest in Peace.
