Barbara was my personal "connection" to the 9/11 disaster. Thankfully, I didn't know any of the others who were killed, but when they announced her name on t.v. I just started crying. Her lovely, smiling face is truly missed.
To: Paul Rodriguez
Barbara's flame will forever burn in our hearts.
We will continue the fight.
To: Paul Rodriguez
Thank you for forwarding Mr. Olson's message. BKO was a valued person here at FR. I went back and made hard copies of her posts after the terror of 9/11. Somehow they are comforting. One of her posts was prophetic when she said, "so much activity, so little time...." BKO will always be in our hearts as a vital part of our life experiences. Mr. Olson, thank you for the part you played in giving us a real President, and thank you for sharing your lovely wife with us, if only for a moment. God bless.

Thanks, Paul. Each time I look on the wound at the Pentagon, I think about the many lost there that were friends to us ... and that Barbara indeed died among friends, true friends. She and Ted have done as much as anyone, if not more, to preserve the Republic. God bless them. Gopherit
To: Paul Rodriguez
Mr. Olson, Solicitor General of the United States of America, I just love the way that sounds. I watched every minute of your confirmation hearing. You were truly wonderful. Your honesty, your trust in GOD,in America and in our Constitution were a wonder to behold.
On that terrible horrible morning of 9-11 I watched in horror as our world changed forever. When it was announced that Your wife, Barbara was on the plane that hit the Pentagon, I felt like I lost a good friend. Truth is I did lose a good friend. I never met your wife personally but she had been on all the talk shows and was a wonderful defender of our Justice system and had a way of making laws easy to understand.
She could laugh at the Liberals and at herself as well. She did not take herself to seriously but understood what she was fighting for and defending. She was fighting for our Nation and she died for our Nation. She was a true American, as big a hero as the Firemen and Police Officers and Rescue workers that gave their lives for their country that day too. She let you know that her plane had been hijacked so you could do something about it. That took courage.
God bless you and keep you and your family safe from harm.

Thank you Paul and Ted. I so enjoyed Barbara's appearance on TV and radio shows bravely speaking the truth for us all. I will never forget her bright spirit and the good nature she radiated. God bless Barbara Olson

Must Read Ping
Forgive me if someone elase already pinged you to this thread, but it is something that needs to be read by all.
For those who may not know, Barbara Olson was also a FReeper
who lost her life on Sept 11 on the plane that crashed into the Pentagon.
God Bless You Barbara and Ted
To: Paul Rodriguez
Decent, caring, civic minded people like the Olsons have the high moral character reminiscent of the highest ideals of the Athenians, in the world'd first democracy. Such people are rare treasures, precious jewels among us.

To: Paul Rodriguez
Paul, Thank you so much for taking the time to post the kind words of Mr. Olson.
Mr. Olson, I just want you to know that losing Barbara Olson has inspired me to be a more vocal conservative. Not just here on Free Republic, but during my daily life.
Now, whenever I assert a conservative view or engage a liberal, I think of Barbara Olson.
She lives on... in all of us.
To: Paul Rodriguez
Hats off to Mr. Olson. Barabara was truly a great women and a great American. She will be sorely missed by all of us who cheer on the great fighters and defenders of liberty and freedom.
First of Front and Right of Line.
Ask an old jarhead what that means. I would say that it is highly appropriate in describing a woman like Barbara.

Thank you so much for posting this message from Ted Olson.
Ted, it was an honor to meet you and see Barbara again after the WH Press Correspondents Dinner last April. Please accept my condolences and prayers for you and your family. We will all miss Barbara.
To: TheGrimReaper
Dear Ted, our loss is Heaven's gain. We share your grief because our loss is also great.
I'm sorry I can't bring myself to read "BKO's" book because it would make me angry all over again, but you can bet I'll buy it anyway!
May God grant you peace and keep you strong for your tasks in the Bush administration. We need you!
(And thanks, Grim, for the ping.)

Dear Mr Rodriquez,
Thank you for posting Mr Olson's very gracious note. In addition to her sweet smile and laughing eyes, we will always miss Barbara's vitality, her keen political insight and her enormous courage. My prayers are with Mr Olson, their family and friends.
