United 93

I saw the trailer for the upcoming movie about our first victory in the War on Terror, United 93, yesterday. It's difficult to watch; the trailer effectively transports you back to 9/11/01, reminding you where you were and what you were doing on that terrible morning when the planes struck the WTC Towers on a brilliant clear blue day, as though it just happened yesterday.

Rick Moran at the Rightwing Nuthouse says that the passengers of Flight 93 deserve the Congressional Medal of Honor for their selfless sacrifice in fighting back against the hijackers on that plane, likely preventing the White House or the Capitol from being destroyed. I agree; at the very least, they should be awarded a posthumous Presidential Medal of Freedom. If the likes of Jesse Jackson and Doris Day can be awarded a PMOF, then why not the brave souls who stormed the cockpit on UA 93?

United 93 will be in theaters on April 28th.
