27 - Remembering September 11, 2001 Sep 17, 2017

Show notes

In this episode,

Remembering September 11, 2001
- 9/11 events
  - http://timeline.911memorial.org/#Timeline/2
- Personal stories, and some recorded stories. The goal of this episode is not to glorify the day or our stories but just to put them out there. We as a country pledged that "we will never forget" and there are college students now that don't remember the day and a whole new generation, like my kids, who need to learn what happened. Just a warning, this episode will have some emotional times so if you cry easily or frequently I suggest not listening to it while driving.
- Dispatcher Mike's Story
- Dr. Steph's Story
- Greg's story
- Jeff's story

Photos from the 9/11 Museum can be found at: http://flyingandlife.com/2017/27/
