It's an honor to have the first lady show her support.

She'd given her pledge of confidentiality. She was prepared to honor that. We were going to support her.

We are excited to receive this honor. American Airlines is committed to continuing its support of the Dallas Black Dance Theatre. We're a company that understands the importance of empowering the community and providing opportunities and educational advancement for youth.

We're deeply saddened that the Uniformed Firefighters Association would withdraw their support for the memorial to honor all those lost on 9/11, including the sacrifice of the firefighters.

There was also a lot of passionate support for the three (honor roll) inductees and our special achievement recipient this year. These are all people who contributed in a lot of ways, not just in the coaching aspect.

Since Ms. Farrell herself terms the war in Iraq 'the most important issue' in her campaign, she should probably focus on working out the differences she had with Sen. Lieberman . . . whose views on the war in Iraq are virtually identical to Christopher's.
