FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. (Army News Service, May 23, 2002) - The flight wings of an American Airlines stewardess killed Sept. 11 were worn into battle above Afghanistan and then presented back to her family by Army aviators at a ceremony here May 21.
Sara Elizabeth Low was killed when her plane crashed into the World Trade Center. Her father, Mike Low, sent her flight-attendant wings to Afghanistan with a letter to the commander of the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Airborne).
"I ask this favor of you. Would it be possible to have some soldier, some good man or woman carry these wings with them in our war against terrorism?" Low wrote.
Rest of the story here.
Staff Sgt. Mark Baker, 2nd Battalion,
160th SOAR (Abn.)thanks Mike Low for the honor
of wearing his daughter's wings in combat.
Kneezles' eyes followed her.
Without looking up from the item Sassy was examining, she asked, "Was it worth the trouble you're now in?"
1. Compaq is considering changing the command "Press Any Key" to "Press Return Key" because of the many calls asking where the "Any" key is.
2. An AST customer was asked to send a copy of her defective diskettes. A few days later a letter arrived from the customer along with Xeroxed copies of the floppies.
3. A Dell customer called to say he couldn't get his computer to fax anything. After 40 minutes of trouble-shooting, the technician discovered the man was trying to fax a piece of paper by holding it in front of the monitor screen and hitting the "send" key.
* I nominate the Dell technician to be included in the 'dumb' list for going through 40 minutes of trouble-shooting before correctly diagnosing the problem! (she says as a former Customer Care manager with an Internet Service Provider...)
Hmmm was it?... keezles, say what? LOL!!!
