The Day the World Changed
The Free Press published a special edition marking the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, featuring first-person accounts from survivors and responders. The issue includes reflections from prominent figures such as David Petraeus and William Barr on the legacy of the War on Terror and current security challenges. These contributions aim to preserve the historical memory of the event while warning against complacency in counterterrorism efforts.
