Howlin, what a beautiful photo of BKO.

Breaks my heart.

I was with you, Buffy! I remember that night!

I was in utter shock when the second plane hit, but the tears didnt start flowing until word came that Barbara was on the plane that hit the Pentagon. It seemed so many things were happening so fast all at once, but Barbara was that human connection I experienced while sitting in my living room at home a few thousand miles away. When they talked of how she relayed information just before it crashed, I felt like every soul lost that day was mine.

God rest BKO and the nearly 3000 others who were killed that day.

[Mr. Silverback]

Thank you.

I was trying to do my best, it's the least they deserve.

[Mr. Silverback]

Thank you.

[Mr. Silverback]

You're welcome.

[Mr. Silverback]

Thank you.

I might have to take the day off from work.

It is a defining day of my existence.

[Mr. Silverback]

Thanks so much for posting that Malkin link! I'm going to look at Roe's site and if he's got slots left I'll move up the launch of my blog so I can participate.

For those who have never heard it, I hope you enjoy it. It was written in honor of John Moran and the rest of those brave souls who were lost. This was inspired by Mike's challenge to Osama bin Laden. I had the great pleasure about after the song was released to join Mike and some NY FReepers in a night of beer drinking at a NY pub.

God bless Barbara and John aka BKO and BCM.

I wasn't a FReeper yet on that horrible day. I wish I would've been.

Finding you wonderful people, that understand the real dangers in this world, has been a comfort and a motivator in my personal and political life.

Your principles and memory live on, BKO and BCM. I'm thankful and proud to be a member of Free Republic.

[Mr. Silverback]

Thanks, Red.

Hey, yes SF my dear best friend! you were there too! Wasn't she just the loveliest person we would ever want to meet! I agree about the human connection on 9/11. Later when we found out she was onboard one of the planes, I hoped it was not true. I have a photo of one of the memorials, and her name is on it. Such a beautiful person she was. Hope all is well with you! I love and miss you girl!

[Mr. Silverback]

Thanks, Bayb.

[Mr. Silverback]

Thanks, I'm humbled.

[Mr. Silverback]

Thanks for taking the time.

More than anything I've written before, this was an honor. I was glad to take the time.

"Barbara and John were Freepers BKO and BCM respectively."

I was fairly familiar with BCM before 911 and he had some outstanding posts. I learned about BKO in the days following.

I learned great respect for her(BKO) and couldn't imagine the loss Ted felt. She is a lady to the end.

The dems are too crazy in their grab for power to bring attention to wonderfull people like these.

Let them live forever in our hearts and minds.

Wonderful tributes. We lost so much that day but losing these two freepers and great Americans is something those of us here will never forget.

Every terrorist killed and every plot overturned is for you BCM and BKO! You are missed.

[buffyt]

You did a great job! Thank you very much. Barbara has been on my mind a lot lately. Such a great woman!
