Obama Signs Bill Honoring 9/11 Victims With Congressional Medals

PITTSBURGH -- President Barack Obama has signed a bill that honors victims of the Sept. 11 attacks with congressional medals.

Obama signed the Fallen Heroes of 9/11 Act on Friday. The congressional gold medals will be given to the Flight 93 National Memorial in Pennsylvania, the National September 11 Memorial and Museum in New York and the Pentagon Memorial in Washington, D.C.

The Pennsylvania memorial honors the victims of United Airlines Flight 93, which crashed in Shanksville, a rural area southeast of Pittsburgh. A spokesman for the Families of Flight 93 says the medal is a wonderful holiday present for people who lost loved ones on Sept. 11, 2001.

When is anyone going to show me some ANY...ANY evidence of a plane at either the Pentagon or in Penn. ? One picture will do! Americans will believe anything they are told, or see on TV. It's shameful.

A view from across the pond : From what I see and hear from afar, your PRESIDENT is the only person worthy of another four years in the White House, he is a WORLD CLASS STATESMAN, unlike the bunch of t/Republican clowns.

Here it is, and this way they can get a two-fer out of it. They'll note that some of the victims were muslim, make the breath-taking Nijinsky-esque leap that these muslims were actually part of the plot and slam the President for supporting terrorism. They can not only question Obama's patriotism, but express their religious bigotry, too without even breaking a sweat. Here's hoping all of your holiday dreams come true, Miss Belle!
