Thank you!

I, too, watched and still think about that act of courage.

It was an "in your face", "double dare" you kind of rebuttal to the terrorists, a way to say "we're still here, you didn't scare us". (the flight into Baghdad had to have the same demoralizing effect to the enemy.)

It's nice to see a positive thread about the President on FR.

Thank you Wizard. I read Bill Sammon's book, Fighting Back, that chronicles 9-11 and the weeks after. I highly recommend it.
