The day that America was attacked on September 11, 2001 was an extremely sad day (I am tearful now), but I could not be more proud of all of the Americans that came together to help one another. It was absolutely amazing that all of the airplanes could be rerouted after three days of pure chaos. I made it as far as St. Louis, MO, from Wichita, KS on the third day but I still could not fly to Seattle, WA, yet. The terminal was almost still and full of passengers waiting to get to their destinations. There was no activity with the airplanes at the gates or on the runways - a most unusual sight! All of the screens were broadcasting the church service with Blly Graham as the speaker which aired around the world. This event affected almost everyone in some way.
There is not much I can do except to say thank you for encouraging us to continue flying. I think it is so important to continue on with life even though danger lurks nearby. God does not give us fear but a boldness to step forward and do what is right. Even though my family members live all across the country, this attack has reminded us that we should do everything we can to express our love for one another.
