Beamer was a devoted Christian. His faith in God influenced not only his value of human life, but also his hope for eternal life. Todd's father, David will be the honored gues at a special service - "Remembering 9-11: An Evening with David Beamer." He is coming to the area in cooperation with Emmanuel School of Religion in Johnson City, TN. There is a Todd Beamer Cottage on the campus of Emmanuel School of Religion that stands as a tribute to this American hero. Outside the Beamer Cottage is a plaque that reads: "Awoke a free man - Became a soldier. Died a hero - Died a Christian."
The community is invited to be present and meet David Beamer and to hear his story of hope and peace in the midst of terror and fear. While the events of 9-11 are in the past, the world continues to struggle with wars and terrorist activity. Beamer is coming to share his real life story. "Remember 9-11: An Evening with David Beamer" will take place on Sept. 27, 6:30 p.m., at the Versailles Christian Church, 105 W. Ward St., Versailles.
