Lisa Beamer was thrust into the national spotlight after her husband, Todd, led a counterattack against terrorists on United Flight 93. He--and all the other passenger heroes--lost their lives in a Pennsylvania field. But that plane was the only one of the four hijacked planes on 9-11 that didn't hit its target--most likely the White House or the Capitol. Todd's last known words, "Let's roll!" have become a rallying cry for the entire American nation to move ahead in hope, courage, and faith, despite today's troubled times, and to live real life...right now.

Even though we know the story,this book reminds us of the sacrifices made on 9-11.I read this about 3 years after it happened and it really brought the feelings of the nation back to me as if it happened yesterday. Well written.

in Let's Roll, Todd's wife, Lisa, reveals what really happened on that ill-fated flight, as well as poignant glimpses of a genuine American Hero. She talks candidly about Todd's growing up years, their marriage and last week together, and then family moments without him--the devastating day her children learned their daddy had died, how they celebrated his first birthday without him, the mix of grief and joy when she gave birth to their third child, and how she's found the confidence to go on in the face of such tragedy and loss.
It's no wonder that, through this unpretentious homemaker andmother, an entire nation can find hope, find inspiration, find strength. Let's Roll!
Incredible story. A great book. Well worth reading.

A closer look at the life of Todd and Lisa Beamer. Todd is the one heard "Let's Roll" on the flight that crashed before it made it to the White House during 9/11.
