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
Never Forget Never Forgive
WOW! Lucky you.
I saw the film and I think it should be in every classroom in america from the grade of 6th on...
It is clear who hates us, not to mention the home grown terrorist we have who hate our country and president.
Tell W and Laura, West Texas misses them and we love them.
When you see President Bush, please put a bug in his ear that the little people in flyover country are mad as Hell about the porous borders. Maybe he hasn't noticed. /sarcasm
I read your post yesterday about the plans of you and your Mother dining with the President and First Lady, and I'm wondering if you've had chance to write about all that happened while you were at the White House. I'd enjoy hearing how it went.
God bless you and your family!
I agree! I am soory about the reason for the visit but I am so jealous!
I'm about to type it up now..I hope I do it justice...what an night!! A few pics to go with it w/ some guests that I was thrilled to meet....I hope I attach the pics correctly.
Thanks,
Chris

Thanks Rte66 - that was very nice of you.

Ask him why the border wasn't sealed off by sundown on 9/11.
What your Dad and his fellow passengers did on 9-11 was the one bright moment in that horrific day. God bless you and your family.
I need to wait to see it when it comes out on dvd.
Me too. He is the only president I have ever wanted to meet in person. He just seems so real to me.
Chris, while I am so very humbled by your loss, it is my hope that the president and his wife will be able to offer you and yours some comfort. You are in my prayers.
Son of Flight 93 Hero...His son is a FReeper too

Ping for my real life Bro.
What those Heroes on Flight 93
(your dad included) did to protect
