Quite a touch tribute. Thanks for taking the time.
Here's the first thread:

As The G Man said in the second post,
Somehow, a terrible tragedy grows even more terrible.
Your column is wonderful.
I think the next few days I better keep the kleenex box handy. My screen is "fogging" up already.

NEVER FORGET
Upon her sudden 9/11 demise, Freeper BKO was America's No. 1 HILLARY-fighter. A real patriot.
A fellow Battle of IA DRANG-1965 veteran of mine, RICK RESCORLA, came back after the Vietnam War to head up security for the World Trade Center's largest tenant ..Tower II's Morgan Stanley Brokerage's 30 middle floors.
RICK RESCORLA quickly predicted the coming 1993 World Trade Center Bombing and afterwards the coming 2001 Airstrikes. When New York Authorities disgarded his dire warnings he prepared the 3,000 employees under his charge for these coming attacks. Which led to the saving of their lives as he willingly gave up his own life for them as Tower II came crashing down on him on 9/11.

It really hits home when expressed like that. Thanks for the very eloquent post.
neet and sweet bump and ping!
Ping.
That was really nice and very well said. Thanks.
another tribute to admire:
http://www.dcroe.com/2996/?page_id=2
2,996 is a tribute to the victims of 9/11.
On September 11, 2006, 2,996 volunteer bloggers
will join together for a tribute to the victims of 9/11.
Each person will pay tribute to a single victim.
We will honor them by remembering their lives,
and not by remembering their murderers.
That's a zinger straight to the heart. Sometimes we forget that they were all individual people, with lives and families. Thank you for the reminder.
May I steal that for a tag line?
Thanks.
I was fortunate to meet Barbara in Houston at a Republican party. She was so tiny, so friendly, she just bubbled over with life. There were two other Barbaras there besides me and BKO. She was just the nicest, smartest, prettiest, most outgoing person you would ever want to meet. Everyone who met her loved her. She put everyone at ease, even total strangers. She lit up the room whenever she entered it. What a lovely smile she had. So full of life. She was as smart as she was pretty, and as pretty as she was nice! The world lost a beautiful person on 9/11. A truly beautiful beautiful person! God bless her memory and may she rest in peace. Amen.
Forgot to mention...I called in to Vickie McKenna's show today while she was discussing 9/11 conspiracy idiots, and since my point was about the FDNY (I ask, if it's so obvious to a million Birkenstock wearing idiots that the towers couldn't have fallen from fire, who is shutting up the hundreds of thousands of firement and structural engineers who "know" the same thing?) as soon as I got on the air I dedicated my phone call to John's memory.
Thanks guys.
Amen. 2001 was a sad year.
May I humbly request pingage?
Yep, she was really something. I read "The Final Days" the winter after her death, and I was so impressed.
