It's been 22 years since Al Qaeda terrorists hijacked four planes and smashed two of them into the World Trade Center and another into the Pentagon. Heroic passengers fought back on the fourth flight to bring it down in a Pennsylvania field. It's a horrific event that changed so many lives in profound ways - and Sara is among them.

One way Sara's life changed was by moving to the nation's capital to write for the Washington Times. She embedded multiple times with American forces in Afghanistan and also managed to land an interview with Afghani warlord Abdul Rashid Dostum. Sara walks through this memory in vivid detail, what Dostum told her, and how it helped her understand the dynamics in play in Afghanistan on a much deeper level. It's a story you'll only hear from Sara Carter.
