The Legacy of Todd Beamer | Colorado Springs News

Todd Beamer, Wheaton College’s beloved student-athlete and hero of 9/11, inspired generations with his courage on United Flight 93. When hijackers took control, Beamer rallied passengers, prayed with them, and famously declared “Let’s roll” — sparking a heroic stand that forced the plane to crash safely in Pennsylvania. His former teammate and now Wheaton’s athletic director, Mike Schauer, still keeps Beamer’s photo on his desk as a daily reminder of quiet strength and moral conviction. The college community honors him by never forgetting his legacy — a symbol of standing up for what’s right, even when the odds are impossible.
