There is great honor in putting ones life on the line for the greater good of mankind.
Pardon my morbidity. I say this out of an attempt to comfort: Think for a moment about what happened to those individuals. They were literally vaporized. They will now fly forever.
If not, do you think that perhaps they have become part of the air we breathe? If so, have they not in this way become part of us all in some small way? Also, if they have become a part of us all in this way, would it not be a fitting memorial to them, to honor them by living honorably ourselves?
That would be the greatest tribute in my mind.
