Years ago, when times were tough, Izzo found himself relying on Elena’s Diner—a humble eatery owned by the generous Elena.  

Moved by his determination, Elena let him keep a running tab for almost two years, never asking for payment or judging his hardship.  

Fifteen years later, Izzo discovered the diner was about to close and quietly bought it.  

He asked Elena to return to the kitchen, but not for profit—he wanted her to serve the community with a renewed purpose.  

Now, Elena’s Diner offers free, nourishing meals to 120 people each day, becoming a local haven for those in need.  

This act of compassion has come full circle, turning past generosity into a mission that uplifts the entire community.

On September 11, 2001, First Lieutenant Heather "Lucky" Penney, just 26 years old and one of the few female fighter pilots at Andrews Air Force Base, was sent on a desperate mission over Washington, D.C.

With no live ammunition loaded on her F-16, Penney and her commanding officer, Lt. Col. Marc Sasseville, were ordered to intercept hijacked United Flight 93 by any means necessary.

Armed only with their jets, they prepared for what would be a suicide mission to protect the nation’s capital—willing to sacrifice their lives if needed.

Ultimately, the intervention was not required: the courageous passengers aboard Flight 93 fought back, bringing down the plane near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

Penney, who later served in Iraq and mentored fellow pilots, considers herself not a hero, but a servant of duty—a powerful reminder of readiness and selfless courage in the face of crisis.
