    Our country was awakened to a new light after September 11th 2001. So many people were heroes that day. This CD is dedicated to the memories of so many lives that were taken away from us in just a few precious seconds. We now realize that the acts of a few can affect so many. The life of Todd Beamer is one that has been a media focus this past year. Even though this CD may be titled from the words that were said in Todd's last moments of life, they represent all those that continue to fight for our country’s safety. Several artists came together with their songs that may help comfort those who are still mourning the loss of loved ones.

    The members of dc Talk come together and sing the title song, "Let's Roll." This sets the scene for what happened on that September morning. Other artists such as 38th Parallel, James Curlin, Jennifer Knapp, Nicole C. Mullen, Shane Minor, and Phil Keaggy bring their songs of peace and encouragement in this time of prayerful mourning.

    When you buy this CD you will become a part of these memories. Through buying it, you are contributing to the Todd Beamer fund. By putting it in your stereo, you are listening to words that are there to comfort. By reading the names of all those who died on that day, it becomes reality. The message of music can move many emotions and in this CD that comes true. As you close your eyes while listening to the song "Let's Roll" you can put yourself in the lives of those aboard Flight 93.

    " The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena. Who strives valiantly who knows the great enthusiasm. The great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat." -- Teddy Roosevelt
