Twenty years. It’s hard to believe it’s been that long. We are now as far away from 9/11 as they were in 1981 which is fairly mind-blowing. I think the reason it’s so hard to believe is that it is still etched in my brain as if it were yesterday. I’m guessing anyone else who was working at any airline that day feels the same way.
As always, following the lead set by Holly Hegeman (PlaneBusiness) so many years ago, I’m honoring those on-duty crewmembers who were murdered that day twenty years ago by printing their names.

Thank you, Brett. I read this list, slowly, every year to honor their memory.
Thank you, Brett, for your faithfulness in honoring those that perished on that day.
