That’s actually a special event unlike lots of the other reasons people contrive to play radio.

And something I suspect we will never hear from HZ land.

Broke our hearts to visit the memorial several years ago in NYC.

We didn't understand all the fools taking pictures and smiling.

I guess we appeared so despondent that a guard lead us to the family room of the memorial (only for families of victims of 9-11). Very sad to read, see, comprehend all the emotions, words, feelings, etc in this room.

I will attempt to hear, receive this special commemorative station in respect to those whom are no longer with us due to events on September 11, 2001.
