crew and passengers fought back a band of
terrorist hijackers and thwarted an attack that,
if successful, would surely have killed thousands
of innocent people on September 11,2001.

to resort to the use of alcohol or drugs to
bolster their courage or to confront their worst
fears.  That certainly was not the case with
Captain Dahl and the brave passengers and crew of
Flight 93.  Knowing full well the risks they
faced, they marshaled their courage and responded
without hesitation, even at the risk of death, to
confront their terrorist captors.  And they
succeeded, surprising the terrorists and forcing
the plane to crash, even at the expense of their
own lives.  That is courage drug-free courage. 
Way to be!

Colonel Guion S. Bluford
First African American In Space
Younger youth  Needless to say, NASA doesnt
look for anyone with a history of alcohol or drug
abuse.  A DUI would easily have precluded Guy
Blufords selection as an astronaut and likely
would have ended his career as an Air Force
pilot, as well, even with his distinguished air
combat record. In fact, there is no place for
anyone in the Air Force or NASA who chooses to
abuse drugs or alcohol.  The stakes are simply
too high and too important to allow anyone to
take such risks.  Guy chose wisely and made smart
decisions for himselfsomething we all need to do
for ourselves every day.  Guy lives by the motto,
Drug-free!  Way to be!  And thats a good motto
to live by.

dealt with her disappointment in a positive
manner. She had experienced disappointment and
witnessed failure from early life, from both
within her family and also for herself. But she
also learned to persevere. She did not "drown her
sorrows" in alcohol. Rather, she chose to pursue
the new and largely unknown world of flight. In a
very positive sense, she became "hooked" on
flying. She continued in her quest to explore
flying, and as dangerous as it was, she was
none-the-less determined to learn and experience
more firsts in the air. She set high standards
for herself, one of which was to live drug-free.
Way to be!
