Flying with LeRoy Homer Jr.

I read a comment today and felt compelled to reply in the blog rather than just a comment. A reader kindly suggested that we read the website of LeRoy Homer, Jr. This is a man who soared to immeasurable heights. He was the First Officer of United Airlines Flight 93 which crashed on 9/11. He wanted to fly ever since he was a child and died doing what he loved doing, flying. Check out the website: http://www.leroywhomerjr.org/.



Homer was a man of purpose and pursuit. He was an Air Force Academy graduate, a recruiter for the academy, a former Air Force pilot, and an Air Force reservist. Probably most important to him, he was a dedicated family man.


The foundation provides scholarships for flying lessons for adolescents interested in one day pursuing an aviation career.This is the legacy he leaves behind. He exemplifies flying. He was flying until his death.



What greater joy is there than to soar? Remember to fly is to succeed. The quote on the LeRoy Homer, Jr. Foundation website said it best:



When once you have tasted flight,

you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward,

for there you have been,

and there you will always long to return


Leonardo DaVinici


Thank you reader for introducing us to a magnificent man. May all of your days be filled with fruitful and ambitious flights.

Hello there! This is kind of off topic but I need some advice from an established blog.
Is it tough to set up your own blog? I'm not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty fast. I'm thinking about setting up
my own but I'm not sure where to start. Do you have any tips or suggestions? Appreciate it

Woah! I'm really loving the template/theme of this site. It's simple, yet effective.
A lot of times it's very difficult to get that "perfect balance" between usability and visual appearance. I must say you have done a very good job with this. Also, the blog loads very quick for me on Chrome. Outstanding Blog!
