One of the parents of the victims described this movie as "Victorious".
You are apparently unfamiliar with what inhabits DU.
I was recently at dinner with the pastor of my church and a politically mixed married couple. The liberal wife and pastor were talking about politics (around the time of the ports deal) and got on to the war on terror.
I tried to restrain myself, but may said something about feeling personally attacked on 9/11. The pastor started to say something to the effect of "maybe its time to forget about how we felt on that day."
I was stunned and asked, "why would anyone EVER want to forget what happened that day?" I was shocked at that attitude. So was the husband of the couple. I think I said something about carpet bombing any country that harbored AlQaeda terrorists before he stopped me.
We stopped talking politics then. I am still stunned at that attitude. We were sitting just 40 or 50 blocks from "ground zero". WE MUST NEVER FORGET.
I will never forget. I will see the movie.
(From what I've been reading about other happenings in the United Methodist church, as well as his political views expressed in the sermons, I've been thinking about ending my affiliation with that church and denomination.)
..You wrote this with passion and an urgency that many of us here recognize.
We must not forget....and I think your words will go a long way to many people wondering if they should go see this.
Thank-you!!!!
Ping!
Thanks.
God bless you and your family Chris, and may you heroic father rest in peace. I pray his spirit will help the rest of us defeat this ferocious enemy.
My husband and I will see this movie, and we will never forget what these people did for all Americans.
Hopefully, it will tank like the rest of the left's idiotic boycotts. Although frankly, I really would not want to be sitting in earshot of one of those smug, loud leftists when I go see this movie.
Thank you Chris. Always welcome your commentary on things related to 9/11.
Guennie, thank you for the ping.
I was amazed that one of the movie houses here picked up United 93, but one did so I will be seeing it this week end.
Chris, thank you for your review and your insight. Bless your hero father and all those brave men and women on United 93.
bttt
Chris, God Bless you and your family.

Thank you for the info, Chris. Your approval on this means a lot and I definitely plan to see it this weekend and am encouraging everyone else I know to see it as well. God Bless you and your family.
United 93 has gotten RAVE reviews from the vast majority of reviewers, including Harry Knowles of Ain't It Cool News website fame (Knowles is a die-hard liberal but very knowledgeable on good filmmaking). This is the type of film that will serve to remind us the very threat of militant Islam, especially now with Iran threatening to build nuclear weapons soon put on missiles that could destroy cities as far as 4,000 km (nearly 2,500 miles) from that country! 
Your father is in heaven and will be remembered as a hero. Thank you for the writeup - it couldn't have been very easy to do this after the emotional upheaval of watching this movie.
That bears repeating...
