At fifteen seconds after 9:41 a.m., on September 11, 2001, a photographer named Richard Drew took a picture of a man falling through the sky — falling through time as well as through space.“The Falling Man — became the Unknown Soldier in a war whose end we have not yet seen.” Today we remember that unknown soldier and thousands like him who went to work that morning, like any other morning, never dreaming it would be their last.

He made a choice. He wouldn't let the terrorists murder him. He had a choice and he took it. I only wish I had his courage.
This is a photo the MSM doesn't want you to see, it shows a man looking at terror and making a choice. Never give in to the terrorists.
I remember seeing that man and others jump on TV during the attacks.
It was surreal sitting in my chair realizing those people were really dieing.
Turning away would have been an insult to those people just like censoring this photo would be, we owe it to those people to see the truth.
It is harrowing.
Some excellent commentary and discussion over on Ace of Spades, BTW.
