Legacy
At least five facilities have been named after Beamer: a post office in Cranbury; the Todd Beamer High School in Federal Way, Washington; the Todd M. Beamer Student Center at Wheaton College in Illinois, and Todd Beamer Park in Fresno, California.
The Cranbury post office was dedicated to Beamer on May 4, 2002, as a result of an Act of Congress authored by Congressman Rush D. Holt, Jr.. The bill was signed into law by President George W. Bush.
The passengers of Flight 93, including Beamer, were posthumously awarded the Arthur Ashe Courage Award in 2002.
At the National 9/11 Memorial, Beamer and other passengers from Flight 93 are memorialized at the South Pool, on Panel S-68.
