Memories of 9-11 that you remember!

[Poinciana]

The muted roar of the Florida Air National Guard F-16s as they continually patrolled the skies above south Florida and being grateful and feeling safe because they were up there. And closer to the ground the flyovers by the USMC helicopters.

The complete absence of the sounds made by commercial and small private planes while they were grounded.

Drivers on the roads were subdued and not driving in crazy manners as they usually did, and proudly flew American flags on their cars and trucks.

The sickening feeling when I saw people who booed and cursed those American flags on the vehicles.

The shock felt by my sister when she found out that one of the hijackers, Mohammed Atta, had been a regular dinner customer in the Coral Springs restaurant she worked at as a dining hostess.

The fear of people who were hesitant to ever fly again.

. . . . . forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us . . . . .
