"I can hear you! The rest of the world hears you!
And the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon."
– President George W. Bush, September 14, 2001 at Ground Zero

Cadre and all willing participants will share their 9/11 story: where were you, how did it change your life? Never Forget.
