What have I done to make a difference? Is the life I lead worth someone else dying for?

It’s not an idle question. Many have died for our freedom. Even now, the men and women of our armed forces are in harm’s way and some may not return to their homes and families. The majority of us here will never be called upon to defend our nation with our lives, but each of us should live a life worthy of those who have.

— Deena Burnett (Bailey), widow of 9/11 Flight 93 hero Tom Burnett, in a speech on 10/9/01 (from Fighting Back: Living Life Beyond Ourselves by Deena Burnett with Anthony F. Giombetti)
