**”Whenever I hear them, I have to stop and remind myself where I am,” he said.**

I’m not trying to brag, but when I hear any kind of siren, I say a Hail Mary for the people the police of fire fighters are going to help as well as for the emergency officers themselves.

Got the hint from my priest.

Just stop what you are doing long enough to say a Hail Mary!

It was my grandmother who taught me to do that. I have since extended it to include overflying aircraft, regardless of their size. Several years ago, a small aircraft crashed in front of a nearby strip mall, killing the pilot who was on a mail run. Then came 9/11. To this day, each time I hear and/or see an aircraft, I say an Our Father for those on board.

I too say Hail Marys when I hear sirens.

I also do look at passengers when I get on an aircraft.

If I see anything that looks suspicious I will not hesitate to act. I suspect most feel that way today.
