I wonder which "brave" freepers typed in the keywords. God bless you, Chris.

NEVER FORGET


Yesterday, President BUSH thoughtfully listened at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier while a U.S. Navy Choir sang the stirring hymn from "WE WERE SOLDIERS" titled:

"The MANSIONS of the Lord"


I'm sure "WE WERE SOLDIERS" Star MEL GIBSON was listening pensively too:


MEL's -PASSION- sparked by -WE WERE SOLDIERS-

NEVER FORGET

What an amazing day you will have! and your mom for sure. Far enough away from the day 911 to be able to absorb what is being experienced but close enough to the event so to have the images & pain be real.

Have a wonderful time/experience. I join the others in hoping you will be able to share pictures & a BIG report!

Thanks for letting us know!

I am sorry about the loss of your dad... I felt the movie was moving & excellent.

Please tell your mother that we appreciate what your father did for his country that day. You are justly proud to have a father who was not paid to be a hero, but he did it out of love for his family and for his country.

WOW, enjoy that lunch! How thoughtful of the President and First Lady! : ) It is going to be very, very painful for you to watch that movie. It was hard for me and I have no friends or relatives who were on that flight. Prayers for you and your family.

Your post is very respectful and well said!!...

..however, I would have no problem with this movie being on TV right now.....without editing!...

..I'm sensitive to rough language and know a lot gets on TV that most folks object to, including myself.

But I didn't think United 93.. was gratuituous with the language....in fact, I hardly noticed it....

..and it certainly didn't show graphic blood....or carnage.

If you have the chance, please thank the President for his leadership and perseverence in the War on Terror, I am sure a few heartfelt, kind words will mean a lot to him, after all the MSM bashing he hears.

Seconded.

Prayers for your mom and your family. I lost many at the WTC and I feel you represent me as well... thank you. Make sure mom has tissues before the movie.
Be safe Chris.

P.S. Don't forget to tell W that Iran is hot, I repeat, Iran is hot; Do not attempt to negotiate with Mahmood, it's a sign of weakness and he could break off the talks and blame us, he cannot be seen as giving compromise to us, trust me... it's futile, but if he does... bring an exorcist, Jack Bauer and Chloe (maybe even Palmer if he has a break on the Unit and the Allstate commercials); tell him the American people should vote on a bill re: illegals (meanwhile, since it has been threatened... we need security, as in 9/12/2001); Tell him to have Tony Blair over more often, they complement and bolster each other, and face it, he's hot... in a different way; the UN has got to go, Trump would be more than happy to have that property; from now on, let the Muslim brotherhood take care of Northern Africa, Indonesia and other natural disasters re: fellow muslims, they have to step up and pay for more than terror and lastly, tell him to let up on Jefferson's records/evidence (now matter who's involved... let them all go, if they're corrupt), ask how Ms. Beasley and Barney are doing (hey, my daughter really wants to know). If you see Tony Snow, tell him to call me... ASAP, I have to talk to him about a speeding ticket. LOL

Kidding Chris. Take pictures and travel light, this is historic. I'm so happy you were chosen to lunch with them... it's something to tell future generations about. Let him know plenty of us are praying for them, and this country must prevail... you will never see another country like America, she is the last great hope of this world... so be careful with her and never sell her out. God is watching.

I forgot, before you leave... can you swing by Ben's Chili Bowl and grab a couple of dogs for me... they are the best.
Or am I asking too much?

Wow, Chris! What an honor. Grab some napkins for me, would ya!

I hope your mom doesn't get too emotional, I have a feeling President and Mrs. Bush will, and well, that would just tear me up.

Prayers for strength for your mom and you.

Tell George FR said Wassup! ;-)
