built 216 days ago
Todd Beamer, 32, talked for some 13 minutes with the GTE operator Tuesday morning, September 11, from hijacked Flight 93, that was supposed to have landed in San Francisco. It crashed, instead, into a rural area 60 miles from Pittsburgh.

The Todd M. Beamer Foundation, established on Sept. 24, 2001, is a non-profit public charity created to equip children experiencing family trauma to make heroic choices everyday. In honor of Todd Beamer and the other heroes of United Flight 93, Beamer's family and friend established The Foundation to carry on his legacy of character, faith and courage to a new generation of young people. The Foundation especially focuses on those children who lost a parent on Sept. 11th.

Todd's boys were only 4 and 18 months when he lost his life. For that reason, their memories of a man who has been elevated to hero status by his bravery aboard Flight 93 will be almost nonexistent. In light of that, as grandparents, they are committed to keeping the legacy of their son alive.

Brian Mumau, another member of the Beamers' small group, recalled that Beamer carried two cell phones and was always talking to people, catching up with them and remembering their prayer requests. Beamer, a 1991 graduate of Wheaton, left a message of encouragement on Mumau's answering machine from the airport just before he boarded Flight 93.
