My September 11 Story

It is hard to believe that the tragedy of 9/11 took place 20 years ago. 

One of the first stories I wrote for Tracks: A Novel in Stories was "Freedom." 

I consider it my 9/11 story.

Here is an abridged version of my 9/11 story as featured on WYPR. (The full story, as published in TRACKS, delves deeper into Joe's conflicts with that tragic day, with the war, and with his relationships.)
