Forever Remembered

On today’s show, we pause to remember a day that forever changed our nation – September 11, 2001. We dedicate this show to the nearly 3,000 innocent lives lost, the unwavering bravery of our first responders, the strength of our armed forces, and the countless acts of courage and compassion that rose from the ashes of tragedy that day. Today, we are honored to welcome Ms. Heather Cartwright, retired Director of the Federal Crimes Victims Division at the U.S. Department of Justice. On that fateful morning, she was on the front lines in Washington, D.C., coordinating critical support for victims and their families in the immediate aftermath of the attacks. Ms. Cartwright will share an extraordinary, behind-the-scenes account of how our nation responded, not just with force, but with humanity. Her powerful story offers a rare and moving glimpse into the heart of our government’s efforts during one of the darkest days in American history and the relationships cultivated in the face of devastation that continue to live on today. This is more than a presentation. It’s a tribute to resilience, a reflection on sacrifice, and a reminder that even in our darkest hour, the light of unity and service shines through.

Won’t you join us for this unforgettable moment of remembrance and reflection.
