I know some people get squeamish when they're confronted with the horrible details of that day, but it is fact, it happened and these are the kind of animals we are currently engaged in fighting against in Afghanistan and Iraq. They are absolutely dedicated to their cause and will stop at nothing less the the total annihilation of the West and our way of life.

All of us are proud of your Dad and the bravery he and those people showed on those flights. It will be a long, bloody, protracted war, but we will win it, and our children will benefit from the sacrifices we make today.

Chris,
HOOAH! Your experience is a poignant reminder of the reasons why we are at war....about 3000 to be exact. I was in the intitial fighting in Operation Iraqi Freedom. There is no doubt in my military mind that hitting back against the Islamofascist bastards responsible for the 9/11 carnage whether in Iraq or Afghanistan, is a damned good start. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Your Dad was very brave. Rest assured that the Taliban and al Qadea are paying the price for their atrocities. We won't forget.

I believe the footage was minimal...but I seem to recall there was a picture of him there during some narration.

There may be more but I just don't remember it. A lot of it was still a blur due to the emotions felt during the viewing.

Sorry buddy - I just don't recall.

-Chris

Pardon my ignorance, but what's the connection to Monmouth County? Is that where the airport is?

null and void said it well:
"I'm damm proud of your dad and his fellow passengers.

Because of them, who knows how many thousands got another chance to hug their kids that evening?

Because of them, no one will ever again succeed in hijacking an airliner.

Because of them, the islamofacists have learned that Americans, even randomly selected untrained and unprepared Americans, are more than up to stomping their best into a mud hole, and stomping the mud hole dry.

Because of them, they have been afraid to attack us at home ever since.

It was one of America's finest hours. A shining beacon on our darkest day.

As Patriot Hooligan said:

Thank you for letting us borrow your Father."

I retrieved my kids from school that morning, Chris. The oldest, beginning his sophomore year. He was very upset with me for removing him. The two younger ones were glad : ) Days before the 3rd anniversary my dear son signed an oath to your dad and all who fought or felt helpless that day.

God bless you, and give you peace.

Thank you, Chris, for your post. Your dad was a hero, and he and his fellow passengers saved who-knows-how-many lives at the intended target (White House? Congress?). This country owes him much gratitude.

God bless you and your family. (Marking my calendar for 9pm on 9/11.)
