September 11, 2001. We will never forget.
On the morning of September 11, 2001 Religious Freedom Coalition President, William J. Murray, was on his way to Washington, DC to participate in the Sudan Peace Act press conference. When he heard the news on the radio about the first plane crash, he knew it was not an accident. Once news came that a second plane hit, he made an immediate call to the White House. He would also just be passing the Pentagon when American Airlines Flight 77 crashed into the building.
On the first anniversary of these attacks, William J. Murray expressed his personal experience on this horrific day and his perspective on the events one year later. Click the link below to read this article from September 2002.
