The ceremony will also recognize the 84 Port Authority of New York and New Jersey employees who perished that day.<br \/>\nThe Ceremony will end by remembering the heroes who got America flying again.<br \/>\nThe government re-opened the nation\u2019s airspace on September 13th at 11 am a little more than 48 hours after the attacks.  Many employees were scared, some of them lost friends and colleagues just a few days before.  They did not know if more attacks were possible.  They also knew changes to the security system that were already being discussed would not be implemented for some time.<br \/>\nThe Branson Airport Staff will honor the heroes who returned to work on September 13th and reclaimed the skies over the United States of America.  Not to be forgotten are the \u201ctens of thousands of aviation personnel who put their uniforms back on and led the way to getting the country moving again despite their fears,\u201d as stated by Tom Murphy, author of Reclaiming the Sky; 9\/11 and the Untold Story of the Men and Women Who Kept America Flying.<br \/>\nThe public is welcome to attend. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Branson Airport to Honor 9\/11 Aviation Industry Heroes Ceremony will remember the fallen and those who reclaimed the skies over the United States of America BRANSON, MISSOURI &#8211; Branson Airport will hold a brief ceremony to honor the fallen of 9\/11 on the 10th anniversary this Sunday at 9:03 a.m. marking the time that United [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_s2mail":"yes"},"categories":[12,16,22,7,13],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/broadcast.branson.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16651"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/broadcast.branson.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/broadcast.branson.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/broadcast.branson.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/broadcast.branson.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16651"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/broadcast.branson.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16651\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/broadcast.branson.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16651"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/broadcast.branson.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16651"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/broadcast.branson.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16651"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
