Summary

Join Jim and Greg for this special 3 Martini Lunch as they remember 25 years since the terrorist attacks in New York City, Washington, and in the skies over Pennsylvania, that changed our nation forever. First, they briefly share their own experiences from being in Washington on September 11, 2001. Then they consider the significant ways our nation and our world have changed since that horrible day. Next, they discuss the devastating realization five years ago that the Taliban would be back in power nearly 20 years after our military response to the 9/11 attacks began. Then, they consider how to approach the subject with children, young adults, or anyone too young to remember what 9/11 was like. Greg shares his family's powerful visit to the Flight 93 Memorial in Pennsylvania and Jim remembers how a trip to the Newseum in D.C. made an impact on his kids. Finally, they remember the inspirational moments that emerged from 9/11 and the days that followed.
