I'm having lunch w/ President and First Lady on Tuesday!

Posted on 05/29/2006 8:07:29 PM PDT by chris_in_nj

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

Shock probably played a part too.

But it is to the credit to all Americans that they could not even comprehend such an attack. It tells us such attacks are not part of their being and we in no way felt such an attack was forthcoming or justified.

Yet, the muslim terrorists live, eat, and pray for such attacks.

I can't imagine having a god that is served by such acts of cruelty. Love is just not a part of their being.

They are a people to be pitied when they worship at the altar of death, torture, beheadings, and terror. Who would they torture, behead, and enact terror on should they rule the land?

Yet, we have a God that teaches "do unto others", "if you love Me you will keep my commandments", "as you do unto the least of these, you do unto Me".

We are so blessed.

I'd love for some groups to buy time on National TV to show a commercial free showing of Flight 93 someday in the future.

I'd make a contribution. Our kids need to be told this story and understand why we are at War. Everyone needs to be reminded of 9/11 and Flight 93 is just as much of American History, IMHO, as Washington crossing the Delaware.

A reminder of what many of us loved in President Bush.

This really gets to me - maybe it is only me - but it hits to the heart of what we love in President Bush and what we need Washington to understand. Being a cowboy is an honor not a trait to be mocked. I hope we have not lost that cowboy in our President.

God bless you and your Mom - our prayers are with you, since time can ease some of the pain but never the hole in your heart.

And, sometimes good things can happen out of the most horrible of circumstances. Enjoy your visit with our President and lovely First Lady, and I hope you report back!

As important as anything in Breaking News to those of us who choose NOT to forget.

No, keep the language and the violence as is, they need to hammer it home as "reality".

I don't think GWB gets to "lurk" anywhere.

I imagine at the end of the day - he runs into his quarters and slams the door and adds the bolt lock.

Hope you have a great day with the Prez and Mrs. Bush.

Please give Laura an extra tight hug from me!

Kudos in Heaven to your Dad and the other heroes of Flight 93.

Julie, I believe that angel artist may be another one of our own?

Chris, I hope you and your mother have a truly memorable day. I'd give anything to be in your shoes, but at the same time, would wish the painful journey that brought you to this point on no one.

Blessings on you and your dear mother, Chris. I'm so happy you have the honor of meeting President and Mrs. Bush, though I know you'd give that up in a second to have your brave father back.

I hope it's a wonderful day for both of you.

He told my husband his son is never leaving Iraq. He lost his wife in the World Trade Center and will not stop fighting until the job is done.

May God bless that brave warrior and bring him home safely after the mission is accomplished. I'm sure his dear wife is smiling down at him from heaven.
