  • Touching story

    Bust out the tissues. Link

    The story is good. A much deeper story then you usually find in a newspaper.

    Ugh!

    Sheesh. What a mess. I wasn't able to delete my post, so I tried to edit it to make it a different post - only I wasn't able to change the thread title - only the post title.

    Sigh. Live and learn.

      I don't know why you would want to delete that.

      It made my eyes all wet, and I haven't even finished it yet.

      Mahalo, GeckoGeek.

      ETA: Oh, now I get it. I somehow didn't notice the thread title until after I posted. Well, don't worry about it, anyway! It's a really nice article, even if the thread name doesn't match. Thanks again for the post.

        I changed the title, assuming Touching story was the one you wanted.

          Thanks Helen!

          Thanks, Azza. I was hoping you'd see it as I thought you'd appreciate it at a professional level as well.

              What a story. The passenger comments by seat number were unexpected, and a telling chorus. And I didn't expect to see "chicken skin," as mentioned by Rick Lopez. I wonder if he's one of ours? (PCHS Class of '83?) He also had among the most powerful quotes: "Sometimes I wish they would do this for us when we come home alive."

              Thanks for sharing, GeckoGeek.

                Yeah, that got me. What a world we live in.

                Yesterday I got to thank a few servicemen and their families as they visited the museum. They truly don't hear it enough.
                Even when they return home alive they've sacrificed so very much.

                  As a Navy vet..... this really does touch my heart and every other time that anyone is killed in this Bush war.

                  A fellow sailor friend of mine was killed in the 9/11 pentagon attack and I was working not too far from the Pentagon .... I will never forget that day.

                  May God help us all!!!!
