Remembering

Few Americans would not be able to recall where they were or what they were doing on September 11, 2001. For our family in North Idaho, the first news reports brought immediate concern about daughter, Sarah, a rookie flight attendant flying out of LAX that morning. It would be a few hours before we knew she was safe on the ground but our personal relief did little to dull the horror of the days events. There are no shortage of heroes to remember today, the 7th anniversary of the worst terrorist attack on this country but my thoughts turn to those crew members on United Flight 93, United Flight 175, American Flight 11 and American Flight 77 who died that day. The airline industry was forever changed with the events of September 11, 2001. Our daughter continues to fly and we continue to worry. We will remember the heroes and that on that worst day, the best of America was also very much on display.
