In this special episode of the Relentlessly Resilient podcast, the team marks the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, the War on Terror, and discusses the lessons of resilience they offer us. While these events are tragic, we cannot push them aside. We must remember the past because it teaches us resilience, Host Jennie Taylor spent the milestone weekend back East helping to rededicate the Global War on Terror Memorial with The National Infantry Museum. As a Gold Star Widow, she helped honor the fallen from 9/11 until now, speaking at the rededication dinner. Back home in Utah, the Major Brent Taylor Foundation produced WEber Remembers: The 9/11 Project with a unique memorial exhibit, ceremonies, and public events. Producer KellieAnn discusses the exhibit experience with Program Manager Kiersten Cragen, and they offer a unique perspective of the generation molded by the repercussions of 9/11. Finally, hosts Jennie Taylor and Michele Scharff reflect on the memories and lessons surrounding the milestone event.
Even though we live in challenging times we can become Relentlessly Resilient as we lean on and learn from one another’s experiences. Hosts Jennie Taylor and Michelle Scharf are no strangers to overcoming adversity; Michelle lost her husband to cancer, while Jennie’s husband Major Brent Taylor was killed in the service of our country. Their stories bond them together and now listeners can join them weekly as they visit with others enduring challenges and who teach us how they are exercising resiliency, finding value in their grief, and purpose in moving forward.
