Today is the 23rd anniversary of September 11, 2001.  And in observance of this day, we decided to republish the podcast we created 3 years ago “Perspectives on the 20th Anniversary of 9-11,” which we dedicated to the victims, and their families, of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.  The passage of time will never diminish the profound impact of that day.
