She is the sister of Charles "Chic" Burlingame III, the pilot of the hijacked American Airlines Flight 77 that was flown into The Pentagon during the September 11 attacks by Al Qaeda terrorists in 2001.[1] Early lifeBurlingame was born in Saint Paul, Minnesota, and moved frequently as a daughter of an active duty member of the United States Air Force. She spent parts of her childhood in California and England.[2]{{efn|This source claims her brother was the son of an active duty member of the United States Air Force, and spent parts of his childhood in California and England. Since they are siblings, this would be also true for her.}} Early education and careerBurlingame is a graduate of New York University and Cardozo School of Law.[1] Before moving to Los Angeles, she was an airline flight attendant for Trans World Airlines,[1] a lawyer,[1] a television producer[9] at Court TV for 5 years (before it became truTV).[3] September 11 attacksOn the morning of the September 11 attacks in 2001, Burlingame was living in Los Angeles, where she planned to start her own production company.[4] Her brother, Charles Burlingame, was the pilot of American Airlines Flight 77, with First Officer David Charlebois, when it was hijacked and flown into the Pentagon.[5] On the second anniversary of the attack, Burlingame launched a nonprofit foundation to provide college scholarships for young men and women wishing to pursue careers as officers in the United States armed services. "We are targeting young people who have demonstrated a wish to be a part of something bigger than themselves," she said.[6] ActivismBurlingame inspired blogger Robert Shurbet[7] to start Take Back The Memorial, a nonprofit group that opposed the International Freedom Center (IFC) being located at the World Trade Center site.[8] Burlingame is a columnist, political activist, and board member of the World Trade Center Memorial Foundation.[1] Due to the efforts of Burlingame and others, New York Governor George Pataki barred the IFC from being located at the World Trade Center site,[9] causing it to be abandoned by its sponsors.{{efn|the International Freedom Center was never built.}} Relatives of 9-11 victims were invited to submit their names for a lottery for invitations to attend the hearings and trials of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and the four other most senior captors.[10] Burlingame's name was one of six families chosen. The Wall Street Journal has published numerous opinion columns by Burlingame.[11] Her columns have also appeared in the New York Daily News.[12] In October 2009, Burlingame co-founded, with Liz Cheney, a non-profit 501(c)4 organization called Keep America Safe.[13] It drew strong criticism from conservative lawyers, many of whom worked for the Bush administration,[14] and information about the organization was removed from Internet shortly thereafter.[15] Burlingame then founded 9/11 Families for a Safe & Strong America with Tim Sumner,[16] an organization about 9/11 family members who consider national security the country’s top priority.[17] Political positionsBurlingame is a critic of radical Islam. In 2010, she issued a press release denouncing President Barack Obama’s support of the Ground Zero Mosque.[18] She wrote, "Demolishing a building that was damaged by wreckage from one of the hijacked planes in order to build a mosque and Islamic Center will further energize those who regard it as a ratification of their violent and divinely ordered mission: the spread of shariah law and its subjugation of all free people, including secular Muslims who come to this country fleeing that medieval ideology, which destroys lives and crushes the human spirit."[19] Burlingame also wrote a letter attacking the Liam Neeson film Non-Stop, which portrays a 9/11 family member and military combat veteran as a vengeful murderer—and, in Burlingame's words: “Worse, the flight’s quiet hero who comes to the aid of the protagonist, thereby saving the day, is a Muslim doctor.”[20] She noted that this was "ironic" given the fact that the Al Qaeda's leader, Ayman Al Zawahiri, was a doctor, a "complete [reversal] of the roles [of] victim and victimizer [in] 9/11".[21] When the Council on American Islamic Relations' called for Ms. Burlingame to be removed from the board of The National September 11 Memorial and Museum, its foundation issued this statement:: “The National September 11 Memorial & Museum has the privilege of having a committed board of directors who have brought leadership and diverse perspectives to this project. This board is {{sic|comprised |hide=y|of}} 9/11 families, witnesses and survivors. The members are from the business and private sector and beyond,” 9/11 Memorial President Joe Daniels said. “As someone whose brother was killed aboard the plane in the attack on the Pentagon, Debra Burlingame stands as one of the most committed, and her contributions over the years have helped build a special place that honors the memory of the victims, preserves the history of 9/11 and presents the facts of a horrific tragedy. We are honored to have this woman serve on this board. Debra and all of the board members have been crucial in building a nationally significant institution that will be experienced by the world for years to come.”[22] Notes{{notelist}}References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite web|url=https://www.911memorial.org/debra-burlingame|title=Debra Burlingame|work=9/11 Memorial|accessdate=27 March 2015}} 2. ^{{cite news |title=Twin Citians Mourn, Await News of Victims |publisher=Saint Paul Pioneer Press|date=September 12, 2001 |author=Nelson, Todd, Phillip Pina}} 3. ^1 {{cite news|last1=Finn|first1=Robin|title=Fighting for the Underlying Meaning of Ground Zero|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2005/08/12/nyregion/12lives.html?_r=0|accessdate=27 March 2015|work=The New York Times|date=12 August 2005}} 4. ^1 2 {{cite web|title=Safe at Home Interviews Debra Burlingame |url=http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/homeland/id.282/default.asp |publisher=Family Security Matters |accessdate=27 March 2015 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402100628/http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/homeland/id.282/default.asp |archivedate=2 April 2015 |df= }} 5. ^{{cite book |title=9/11 Commission Report |publisher=Government Printing Office |year=2004 |author=National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States |chapter=Chapter 1 |url=http://www.9-11commission.gov/report/911Report_Ch1.htm}} 6. ^{{cite web|title=Charles Frank Burlingame III|url=http://www.arlingtoncemetery.net/cfburling3.htm|publisher=Arlington Cemetery|accessdate=27 March 2015}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://limeshurbet.com/ |accessdate=April 6, 2006 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20060522193313/http://limeshurbet.com/ |archivedate=May 22, 2006 }} 8. ^{{cite news|last1=Schuerman|first1=Matthew|title=Embattled Libeskind Defends Controversial W.T.C.
