Title

"9/11 pilgrimage" radio episode

Description

An audio recording by Oregon Congressman Les AuCoin reflecting on his then recent "pilgrimage" to the former location of the Twin Towers in New York City in the immediate years following 9/11. Though this wasn't his first trip to the area post-9/11, he describes how the attacks have had a lasting impact on the city landscape and the lives of himself and his fellow Americans. He honors the innocent souls and the heroism of the first responders who lost their lives. He recalls eating at the famous Windows on the World in the past, and mentions visiting St. Paul's Chapel on his trip, which was used as a shrine for the victims. This is one episode from AuCoin's biweekly radio show on Jefferson Public Radio (JPR), which ran after he had retired from office. The majority of episodes feature his commentary on current political events, often focusing on issues important to southern Oregon where JPR is based. This episode aired in 2003.
