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

"The Era of Osama lasted about an hour, from the time the first plane hit the tower to the moment the General Militia of Flight 93 reported for duty."

Bless you Chris and your Mother and most of all your Father.

God bless you, Chris. God bless your dear mother. And I am sure He is smiling upon your heroic father.

My husband and I plan to see the film tomorrow evening.

I hope you and your mother enjoy your visit with the President and First Lady. It is a very nice, heart felt, gesture on their part.

I'm afraid to see the movie, my rage over that day is always as fresh as the day it happened. Some people tend to forget, to put it behind them. I can't seem to do that.

Your father was a hero, he saved countless lives in D.C. that day. He will never be forgotten, not by we the grateful, not by history. God bless you and yours.

Very disheartening, but not surprising, to read that. I taped the airing, while I watched the Memorial Day Concert in DC on another channel, delighted that CBS was showing it, but my old VCR did not cooperate and the tape got ruined.

I will never forget, and there are more Americans of our age who will never forget, than who still think fighting to save Vietnam was wrong. Unfortunately, many of those who are in media jobs are in the latter group. We are invisible to them, but we vote. And when they (the media) are surprised by the results, they "feel" that we cheated, because they believe we are not really a large number. I believe that we are a solid majority in America.
