I married a British lady and moved to England in 2000. By September 2001, My homesickness overwhelmed me as my wife and I had an arguement. I was a passenger on United flight 907 from London to Newark. My heart was heavy the entire flight. I never reached Newark on that fateful day. Instead, United flight 907 was rerouted to Halifax, Canada where I spent the next several days. I could not reach family for several days and when I did, my wife cried while telling me she was ready to be with me wherever I am and that she dearly loved me. We are inseparable, now and live in Billings, Montana. We are VERY happy, together and much in love.

What has changed in my life is the strength of my values in life. Life is short and every day should be celebrated in faith in God and love of family, friends, and country. No terrorist will stop me from living my life as I should and I will continue to fly.

The deaths of so many innocent people, the bravery of those who lost their lives responding to emergency calls, and the foolishness of the few who destroyed those lives. We should also remember the unity this horrific event created. We must remember who we are and our responsibilties.

I did most enthusiastically.
