9/11 20th Anniversary Media Request

As the 20th anniversary of 9/11 approaches, APFA, AFA-CWA, APA, and ALPA have begun preparations to honor and remember the victims as well as the first responders of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Thank you to everyone who has submitted media for the video that will run at the Grapevine, TX Memorial.

As a special tribute at the Grapevine, TX 9/11 ceremony, we would like to feature your stories (via video) as part of the remembrance. We have set up a dropbox for you to upload your media, including videos, photos, and voice recordings. Crew members from any airline, family members, or anyone who would like to honor a hero from that day may contribute.

You may use the following address for instructions and access to the upload portal:
