I hope they do the story justice.<br /><br />I loved finding out about the piece of the World Trade Center that they took with them, and what they did with it. Same feeling that I had when I learned that the very first plane off of the carrier to take the fight back to the Taliban was carrying a flag from the World Trade Center.
