I'm having lunch w/ President and First Lady on Tuesday!

Posted on 05/29/2006 8:07:29 PM PDT by chris_in_nj

Well my good friends George and Laura have yet to see the movie United 93. To see it they have invited 2 people from each of the families of those that died on 9/11 aboard Flight 93. After a late lunch/early dinner with the President and First Lady but only one of us will be able to view the movie w/ them.

Since my mother has not seen it yet - but is ready to now - she will go in with them to view it...and I will get an up close and personal tour of the White House.

This, on the heels of Memorial Day, should be amazing. It's going to be heavy-duty on my mother but I think she'll handle it well....fingers crossed.

For anyone who has not seen it please do - it is amazing. You'll walk out having gone through every emotion possible in about 90 minutes...and you'll leave knowing full well why we are fighting.

Hope everyone had a safe and great weekend!

God Bless America,

Chris Proud son of Patrick 'Joe' Driscoll Flight 93

I had to look twice in the store. "Flight 93" is the A&E made for TV version that wasn't bad at all. I may buy it on DVD anyway.

On another similar subject, my advice to all is do not go the the IMDB ( Internet Movie Database ) message boards to discuss this and other similar movies. It's like DUmmieland deluxe over there. The admin moderators there allow every nutbar conspiracy theory about Sept 11 on the United 93 board to stay posted. Heaven forbid that they discuss only the movie. If you refute any of it with facts, your post only lasts a few hours or days. Leftist drivel stays posted almost forever. The boards aren't too bad for discussing general movies and shows, although libs try to throw their tinfoil crap on the many innocent shows.

One poster there tries to get everyone to watch "Loose Change", a real whackjob movie. He contantly posts links to it. Any other place it's called thread bombing, there the admin loves it.

Thank you for posting. Your father's and your family's sacrifices for our ultimate freedoms have not gone unnoticed or unappreciated and will never be forgotten.

Best wishes on this big day. If you get a printed menu card for the meal, please tell us what they served - this inquiring foodie wants to know. God bless you and all your lunchmates today, including George and Laura. Enjoy the REAL West Wing!

I'm so glad the President and Mrs. Bush are about to see the movie. It will allow the Prez to see just how right he is about pursuing the terrorists overseas rather than on our own soil. Let it roll, President Bush.

Tears and cold chills when I read your post. I will be praying for your mother and all who watch.

May God watch over you and keep you!

Don, when I think that the president could have been the bumbler from our state, I can overlook just about anything.

Prayers for your father. Rest assured he and all those who died on that day are with God.

Give W a great big hello from all Freepers and don't forget to tell us what he's like in person! Also, while you're there, get him to tell you where the dead aliens are kept! :^)

I am happy for you and sad at the same time. I was ready to make a smart remark not knowing the story behind the invite, and I apologize for that.

Tell GWB that despite the abuse we give him here, that we are behind him in this war!

Chris, enjoy your day.

Your father is an American hero, and I hope your mother handles everything well.

>Never Forget Never Forgive

We all need to remember that to forget or forgive is to give the enemies of humanity permission to do it again.
