The Morning Play Remembers Where We Were on 9/11/01

On this the Friday before the 15th Anniversary, we opened up our phone lines and our hearts to talk about where we were during the 9/11 attacks. Quite the emotional roller coaster. Thank you for being a part of the conversation and the show.

MJ and Jesse discuss where they were and how this year's high school freshmen are the first to learn about it as an event before their birth.
