Oregon Loves New York Flight for Freedom Book

After 9/11, 1,000 caring Oregonians flew to New York City to show the terrorists they didn't win. This is what can be accomplished when Americans come together.

@walterkirn, re: one of your comments on ATW last week. Per @Chris_arnade, back-row people value non-credentialed things like family, faith, place. The front-row world (people) values wealth and credentials. I recommend his book "Dignity."

"Hugs meant a lot, even to complete strangers." That's what the Freedom Fliers did -- but, as Debra says, we're not strangers. I hope we can somehow get back to that. @911memorial #hug #love @orhist #NYC #oregon #friends #compassion #AmericanHistory #authorlife #readmorebooks

@tothemax2050 I'd prefer to read a book, but if I felt guilty about being antisocial, I'd chitchat.

The last day of #FlightforFreedom. A day of fun and love. Deep, deep #connection. Purely selfless. The best of humanity that's in us all. And from me, the author, a virtual #hug for all of you as we walk the path of life together. #writers #inspiring #love #reading #oregon #nyc

The U.S. bombed Afghanistan on Oct. 10, 2001. Would terrorists want revenge? NYC was a likely target, but Freedom Fliers kept their schedule. Flight for Freedom was about love & showing the nation not to live in fear. The Freedom Fliers faced the challenge & proved they meant it.
