Robert D. Stethem was from Waldorf, Maryland.

[Hatteras]

Sorry, I don't know what happened there. Try this one...

Seem to be having some troubles here. I can do a right-click and then click "Show Picture" and it appears. But as soon as I refresh, the pic is gone again. Oh well...

I thought CT.....maybe he was based out in Groton.

[geege]

Oh it worked....thanks....

One of a kind; God Bless her.

Another atrocity that Reagan did not respond to. His record regarding terror was pathetic.

[KimmyJaye]

"I'm pretty sure they had a Friday last week". LOL

Man, I love smart a$$es. That was hilarious.

[aculeus]

The New York Times deserves kudos for this obit and "shame on them" for ignoring most American WWII heroes who have died.

[ops33]

Does anyone know what happend to the hijackers?

[najida]

Isn't she the one that let them use her credit card to re-fuel the plane?

[Kirkwood]

Read the story for Pete's sake!

[najida]

Sorry sweetie,
I thought I read the entire story, but I must have skipped those lines. ~~sigh~~

(Vanity and reading glasses ;))

Thank you for pointing it out for me :)

A true heroine.

I hope and believe many of us can thusly rise to the occasion when put to the test such as did Todd Beamer and the rest of his brave group and many others before and after these brave folks.

Ping, to a brave lady story.

FYI..whenever you get the chance..r

I remember this and how awful it was about the American who was killed. She was a very quick-thinking and brave person; may she rest in peace.

In this picture, she kind of looks like Charlize Theron (sp?). Would be nice to have a remake of her story so we can see more movies highlighting heroism.

No. That is the opposite: When the victim falls in love with the abductor/torturer.
