United Flight 93

Haven't had much to say about good ol' Kennewick lately, it's been a busy time of year.

Just returned from seeing United 99. Every American should see this movie. Half the country's fallen asleep, half of the remainder are so hung up on fools and idiots like Brittney Spears, Ted Kennedy, et al. that they've forgotten what true human heros really are.

Make no mistake. Those passengers on that flight were strong, solid heros. I can not imagine the terror they felt, I'm so grateful to each one of them that there are no words to express it.

However, something to consider in this time of "alternate versions of the National Anthem" a substitution should be made. No, NOT in Spanish...

What should be changed is this stanza: The Land of the Free, and Home Of the Brave, should say

THE LAND OF THE FREE --- BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE

Americans, it's time ... take your country back.
