Seven years ago today my younger sister Ann Campana Judge was murdered by the five men you see here.
She was on American Airlines Flight #77 - the one that was crashed into the Pentagon.
We should remember that these men, as well as 10 of the other 14 murderers, were Saudi Arabians.
Not Iraqis.
Not Afghans.
Not nobody else.
Saudi Arabians.
When we buy Saudi oil, some of our money goes to organizations that support these kinds of people.
We should never forget that.
Today they will dedicate the Pentagon Memorial. The Washington Post has a special section on the memorial.
Even though I find myself in DC, I'll wait to see it when the masses have left and the politicians have returned to their offices.
Then I'll go have a nice long visit as I sit on her bench and say "God bless!" to the other 183 murdered heroes who are memorialized, including those three middle-school students she was escorting to Los Angeles to join others for a field trip to the Channel Islands. It was their first airplane trip.
I'll bring some Diet Coke, a pack of Marlboro Lights, and maybe a bottle of Dewar's.
RIP, Annie. You're still doing good things.
