Beamer unveils “Let’s Roll” nose art at 177th
Summary
Col. Mike Cosby, left, Commander, 177th Fighter Wing, New Jersey Air National Guard, watches as Lisa Beamer unveils the "Let's Roll" nose art decal on an F-16 Fighting Falcon depicting Todd Beamer's last words on Flight 93 on Sept. 11, 2001, during a ceremony at the Wing March 25, 2002. Because of the actions taken by the 40 passengers and crew aboard Flight 93 against the terrorists who had hijacked the aircraft, the attack on the U.S. Capitol was foiled. Flight 93 crashed near Shanksville, Pa., killing all on board the aircraft. The ceremony was held at the 177th Fighter Wing, which is located at Egg Harbor Township, N.J.
