EPISODE 21: Behind the Tour 9/11 Remembered: 20 Years Later

SUMMARY This week on Behind the Tour we remember a challenging day in American history. Twenty years ago, our nation was attacked in what we now know as 9/11. Saying those two numbers elicits a mental and emotional response in most adult Americans.

We start off with a short recap of the events of that day. We then segway into a section where one of our Education Program Leaders, who happened to have a tour group in Arlington National Cemetery that morning, shares the story of himself and his group of students. Then our host Aaron Cronk, and podcast guests Sabrina Carlson, President of ACTS and EPL Jay Proffitt each highlight one of the 9/11 Memorials that our groups can visit during different tours with ACTS. We wrap up the podcast with a call to action.
