| | Description | Hossein Mahmoudi Might Receive Congressional Medal of Honor.
Out of the nearly 6000 victims of last week's crime, four have been cited for bravery and personal letters sent to their families by President Bush.
One is the brave Iranian pilot of the plane that crashed in the fields of Pennsylvania. The black-box recovered from the plane shows that the pilot fought bravely and brought the plane down avoiding buildings while he was struggling with the hijackers who wanted to crash it into the buildings.
His wife says that he had told her many times if hijacked he would avoid civilians on the ground. He did just that. He leaves behind a wife & two young children; younger one is only six months. They live in New Jersey. His wife like himself is an Iranian.
Pilot Mahmoodi's plane was the only plane that didn't kill anyone on the ground. This brave pilot who also loved soccer (known to many of us, as Mr. 93 on an Iranian football message board) deserves to receive the highest honor in the U.S.
I am very puzzled/surprised why the media in the U.S. and other countries are not mentioning his name and how brave he was in fighting the hijackers.
