COEUR d'ALENE - Sept. 11, 2001, was remembered across the nation Friday, but for a pilot and flight attendant at Coeur d'Alene's memorial service, their memories go deeper.

The events that unfolded 14 years ago were watched on television and read in newspapers around the world. Many strangers mourned alongside the families of the lost and the survivors of the terrorist attack.

Lisa Davey, of Coeur d'Alene, is an American Airlines flight attendant who was based in Boston during the attacks. She regularly worked Flight 11 and knew the crew that was lost that day like family.

Her husband, Whit Davey, is an American Airlines pilot who also worked out of Boston during 9/11. Whit, who flew the Boston to Los Angeles route regularly, was on vacation that fateful day.

"I flew those flights," Whit said. "That was a plane I flew."

Whit normally piloted Flight 11, the plane which struck Tower 1 and resulted in catastrophic destruction. Whit's father is a pilot who flew the same route also, and until he and his father spoke later that day, they both feared the worst - that the other had been killed.

The ceremony at Fallen Heroes Plaza Friday was a remembrance of those lost in service and celebration of those still living with memories of them.

Many local agencies joined the service; Mayor Steve Widmyer also came to show his support.

Widmyer said he is proud to live in and serve a city that shows such amazing support for fallen heroes and their memories.

Coeur d'Alene Police Chief Lee White and many members of his force joined the service.

"From my perspective, it's important we pay homage and remember the sacrifice of those who came before us," White said. "For me it's not just about that day, but how everything changed after it."

Lisa said people remembering the events of 9/11 can help with the healing and bring people together even more.

"Hopefully with these kinds of things happening it reminds people and teaches them to be patient and kind to each other," Lisa said.

Whit said not one of the crew who boarded Flight 11 that day expected anything other than to land safely on the West Coast. He said he hopes the memories of that day will help people realize the opportunities they have to be kind to each other.

"Lisa said it best," Whit said. "People will maybe learn to love better."

The Daveys both still work for the same airline, and since the attacks, they have even flown the Flight 11 route. Lisa said she is not fearful to go to work or fly, but the job is just different now.

The Daveys' 11-year-old son, Cameron, was present Friday, with the look of an old soul in his eyes.

"I'm glad to be here for this," Cameron said. "It really touched me today."

Cameron said he looks up to his dad and dreams of being a pilot himself one day.

Other services and acts of kindness took place in Kootenai County Friday. Among them were the 9/11 National Day of Service and Remembrance ceremony held at the Post Falls City Hall, and community members from Lake City Center spending the day delivering care packages to local first responder locations.
