What was his title? Head of Boston Air Traffic Controllers? Or all air traffic controllers? I got confused.

You are exactly right in describing the passengers on United 93 as angels. They were the first unwitting soldiers in the fight to save our nation. We owe them a nation's debt of gratitude, for they truly are angels.
I always think of them as Angels since seeing the forty small angels an artist created at the temporary Memorial. Each angel had the name of a passenger or crew member. And each one were individually 'decorated' by family members. They were so moving....our eyes filled with tears.
I urge all Freepers who possibly can to go to Shanksville now to see the 'People's Memorial' that ordinary Americans have created with their messages & tributes to those Forty Angels. It is my understanding that local volunteers are saving all the tributes which will eventually be placed in a museum.

A FReeper who had a member(s) of their family die on flight 93 is going to see United 93 with the President and all you can do is bitch about whether the article is in the correct category, aren't you just precious!

OK, found him. His name IS Ben. He was FAA National Operations Manager in Herndon, VA. First day on the job in that facility.

How bittersweet. While I am sure she would rather have you at her side, I cannot think of better "2nd choices" than President Bush and Laura Bush. :-)
Prayers for all.

I was very apprehensive before seeing this movie. In the first 15 minutes, I was sure that I was going to be sick. I thought it was a great movie and it held me in the moment the whole time. Your father was one of the first responders in our global War on Terror. I know you must be proud. Sad, but proud. Prayers for you and yours.
To: chris_in_nj
Congratulations on seeing the movie with the President. I have yet to see it myself, but I'm really looking forward to it. Well, as much as you can look forward to seeing something that serious and emotional, that is.

What an honor it must be, to dine with people of such high caliber. I suppose that's just one of the perks of being President and First Lady.

Your dad and the other passengers are American heroes.
They were the first soldiers in The War.
They demonstrated with their singular act of courage that America is not 'a paper tiger' after all.

Congrats. President Bush and the First Lady are wonderful people.
I can say that from personal experience although he was still Governor Bush at that time.

It is indeed breaking news.
I hope that Chris_n_NJ finds comfort in this meeting. I can't even imagine.
My father was on a TWA flight from NY to St. Louis (he was enroute from Russia back to Hawaii) and his flight flew right over the WTC as the second plane crashed into the second tower. They could see it from the plane. I remember knowing that his plane was in the air, right there, during that time and he was unaccounted for, but we were lucky, unlike Chris' family. My family got good news, when Chris' and so many others did not.
We must NEVER forget. NEVER.

My son is a U. S. Marine serving proudly in Iraq. Please tell President Bush that I am thrilled that he is my son's Commander in Chief. Also, please tell Mrs. Bush that I said she is exceptionally lovely - a pleasant, and considerable, improvement, from the last administration.
