A Heroine

I just read a story about 9/11 that choked me up; maybe it will do that to you, too. It's about one of the first women fighter pilots who, with her CO, took off on 9/11 in two unarmed F-16s to intercept the fourth terrorist-controlled plane headed for the capitol.

The plan was to ram United flight 93 with their fighters. Before they could reach it, the passengers attacked the hijackers and forced the airliner to crash in Pennsylvania. Go see her story on The Seattle Times website. Hat tip to Lucianne.com for the link.
