Where were you on September 11th, 2001? In this week’s episode we talk to Jessica Osenbrugge, the executive director for St. Joseph’s Medical Clinic. Jessica was in New York City on September 11, 2001. She shares her story with us about experiencing such a life-altering event at just 24 years old and how, in the days after the attack, she dedicated her life to trying to find a missing woman and fellow Wisconsinite who was in the North Tower. As we approach the 15 year anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attack Jessica reflects on the events of the day, the healing journey she has been a part of, and what is happening to commemorate the victims, first responders, and emergency personnel who gave selflessly in the days and months after the attack. This episode will be shared in two segments.
