I hear that thousands of movie theaters and auditoriums are playing it live.All the seats sold out at the theaters.How cool is that?


There are jumbo-trons all over the place(on the Mall) for the throngs who`re to far away to see.


Nice day too.


I hear that  Capitan Sullenbugger and his family will be there.

Today should have been a National day for all to have the opportunity to celebate, hopefully employers are giving a lot of leeway. I wish I was there to see this in person.

I hope Captain Sullenburger is recognised for his bravery, and also the rest of the crew that kept together a group of terrified passengers. Thanks to their combined efforts, all on that flight got home safely.

Currently doing the 'happy dance'.

I saw the motorcade arriving, and haven't been able to stop crying since.   I don't think I can watch it live...   It's too intense, and remind me of someone who should have been here.     M

LaT, hopefully as many employers as possible are making it available via the internet, etc... This is a day that I, and I'm sure so many others, too, never thought would come. The importance of this occasion is just sinking in and I'm sure employees can be forgiven for not having their minds on their work.

Near silence when Bush and Cheney came out lol

We watched all of it.   And shed a few tears.   It was very emotional.   He looked so proud and handsome.
God bless the man and his family as he takes on the toughest job in the world.
