They chose to stand against the political tyranny of the day at the expense of their lives. Tragically this anniversary has coincided with yet more senseless violence with the fatal shooting of political activist Charlie Kirk. Yet again, another hero who lost his life at the hands of the political tyranny of their day. Todd Beamer and all the other passengers on Flight 93 stood against the political tyranny of their day in 2001 and it cost them their lives. And now, here we are again today, 2025, as Charlie Kirk stood against the political tyranny of our day.
