“We lost one of our own that day - BKO - Barbara Olsen on Flight 77.”
Yea we did. One day an acquaintance was spouting the insane theory that it was a missile that hit the Pentagon and that GWB ordered it.
I said “Okay, then. Where is Barbara Olsen?”
“Who?” He asked me.
“The wife of the Solicitor General of the United States. They’re close friends of the Bush family and she was on that plane. So you’re saying that the President of the United States ordered the cold blooded murder of the wife of one of his best friends. That’s your theory?”
He shut up after that.

Prayers for them and their loved ones.
I had just come home from making the school run and rushed to start making a birthday cake without turning on FOX news as was normal. My best friend called moments later telling about the first plane and I said it had to be that Bin what’s his name. We were on the phone together most of the day since she was at work without a tv. I associate her death shortly after with 9/11. Thought of her first thing this morning same as I do every year.
Exceptional post.
