Let's Roll

"Let's roll" is a catchphrase that has been used extensively as a term to move and start an activity, attack, mission or project. After the September 11 attacks, the phrase, especially in the United States, has come to symbolize heroism, self-sacrifice and initiative in a tough situation. This use of the phrase was inspired by Todd Beamer's final known words, "Are you guys ready? Okay, let's roll!" The phrase has been widely appropriated as a battlecry.
