We share our remembrances of 9-11 beginning with Melissa who was at our station that day, followed by Alan who was on the air at another local radio station, followed by Bud who had a surreal experience of being in George Washington's headquarters at Valley Forge when news came of the terrorist attacks.
An update on efforts to get Americans and others out of Afghanistan. The Taliban is suddenly cooperating and have let one plane fly out at this writing.
