Well my good friends George and Laura have yet to see the movie United 93. To see it they have invited 2 people from each of the families of those that died on 9/11 aboard Flight 93. After a late lunch/early dinner with the President and First Lady but only one of us will be able to view the movie w/ them.
Since my mother has not seen it yet - but is ready to now - she will go in with them to view it...and I will get an up close and personal tour of the White House.
This, on the heels of Memorial Day, should be amazing. It's going to be heavy-duty on my mother but I think she'll handle it well....fingers crossed.
For anyone who has not seen it please do - it is amazing. You'll walk out having gone through every emotion possible in about 90 minutes...and you'll leave knowing full well why we are fighting.
Hope everyone had a safe and great weekend!
God Bless America,
Chris Proud son of Patrick 'Joe' Driscoll Flight 93

Wow. Chris, your dad is a hero.
One poster there tries to get everyone to watch "Loose Change", a real whackjob movie. He contantly posts links to it. Any other place it's called thread bombing, there the admin loves it.
Thank you for posting. Your father's and your family's sacrifices for our ultimate freedoms have not gone unnoticed or unappreciated and will never be forgotten.
Best wishes on this big day. If you get a printed menu card for the meal, please tell us what they served - this inquiring foodie wants to know. God bless you and all your lunchmates today, including George and Laura. Enjoy the REAL West Wing!
I'm so glad the President and Mrs. Bush are about to see the movie. It will allow the Prez to see just how right he is about pursuing the terrorists overseas rather than on our own soil. Let it roll, President Bush.
My best to you and your Mom.
Congrats. Try to get in a good word about FR. LOL!
God bless you and your family. Tell your mom to give our best to our Commander in chief!
How little can one be?
Give W a great big hello from all Freepers and don't forget to tell us what he's like in person! Also, while you're there, get him to tell you where the dead aliens are kept! :^)
I am happy for you and sad at the same time. I was ready to make a smart remark not knowing the story behind the invite, and I apologize for that.
Tell GWB that despite the abuse we give him here, that we are behind him in this war!
Your father is an American hero, and I hope your mother handles everything well.
Have a great time. I wish you didn't qualify to attend this event, but since you do I hope it is a great experience!
This will be a memorable event for you and your family. Wish it could have taken place for different reasons. Enjoy the day and know that we are all there with you in spirit.
Best wishes to you & your family

We all need to remember that to forget or forgive is to give the enemies of humanity permission to do it again.
