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 know there will be much on your mind while there, but if you can, please tell the President that his speech was very moving today at Arlington. In that place, Arlington, valor sleeps; in so many more, valor lives. We are not worthy of it.
Blessings to you, and please convey to the President and the First Lady our prayers for them.

Well, I wish you wouldn't have the reason you do to be attending. That said, God bless you and your family.

Hey, lift some silverware. What the heck, when will you get the opportunity again. ;)
p.s. tell us what Laura smells like. I bet she's Chanel #5.

Please take as many photos as possible and take lots of notes... Ok, I'm asking a bit much, but we expect a word for word report... We are FReepers after all!
You know, the real media!

Chris, can you put in a word to help make SURE the Flight 93 Memorial is totally AMERICAN in its symbolism? The plans I've seen have not been so at all!
Thank you.
