read various theories about the final minutes of United Flight 93. But for me there is only one certain truth. The courageous actions of its passengers.
Whether or not we think a movie should have been made about this flight doesn’t change the fact that it’s part of our American history. Our national narrative. The unfolding saga in the war against terrorism. A war that often seems without obvious rules and clearly against an enemy without country or ethical boundaries.
It’s certainly not the first time that Hollywood made a movie depicting a national tragedy. The same could be said for numerous books and songs. We seem to be a people who like to record our events and feelings about those events.
Without question the actual details of those final minutes can only be guessed. Phone conversations between passengers and relatives tell us passengers became aware their hijacked plane was likely to be used as a terrorist’s weapon. And . . . that they must do something.
So, the courage of everyday people is told in a movie some refuse to see, some feel they must see, some criticize, some praise.
And what of courage?

While there are numerous stories of courage described in the Bible, the one which comes to my thought first is David battling and conquering Goliath. David was a shepherd-boy who volunteered to do what trained soldiers feared they couldn’t.
I’ve always loved this story. The setting was army against army. An enormous and frightful soldier from the enemy’s camp, Goliath, made a challenge for one man to fight him. David wasn’t in the army. But his brothers were. Their father had sent David to his brothers’ army camp to bring food.
He was obedient. He wasn’t looking for fame and glory. David’s noble desire was to help and he believed with all his heart he could.
At first the army leader questioned David’s ability to face such an experienced soldier since David was a mere boy. He said, “You can’t go and fight this Philistine. You’re too young and inexperienced – and he’s been at this fighting business since before you were born.” Yet leading spirituality author, Mary Baker Eddy wrote, individuals’ “strength is in proportion to their courage.”
What kind of courage did this young boy have, which I believe was also the kind of courage Eddy was speaking of? Not animal courage often flaunted by impetuosity, brashness or daring. But moral courage, exhibited by David’s fortitude, determination, and undaunted spirit.
