Episode Details

Rob Riggle, a former Marine who was at Ground Zero after 9/11, recounts the harrowing yet unifying experience of searching through rubble for survivors amid an apocalyptic scene. He describes how every whistle meant hope — a pause in work to find life — and how prayers were offered for families and resilience. Amid the chaos, political divides vanished as people from all backgrounds came together, even politicians singing on Capitol steps in shared grief. Riggle’s powerful message: honor the innocent lost, recognize the overwhelming good that rose from tragedy, and never forget that good far outweighs evil — urging vigilance, remembrance, and hope.
