Let's leave the positive/negative Bush comments out. Amazing how far communication technology has come in 15 short years.
The professionalism of the Secret Service and the military was incredible. Even down to telling people to remove the batteries from cell phones so that the plane could not be tracked.
Perhaps my most lasting memory of that day was standing in my back yard here in Moline, Illinois late that afternoon, looking up at the blue sky and not seeing the trails from planes that you take for granted. And then seeing 3 of them as Air Force One and its fighter escort passed overhead.
