Episode Notes:

Each week of September, to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks on the United States, Nicole Wiley sits down with scholars, veterans, journalists, and other voices to understand how that day, and the years of war that followed, impacted different facets of American life. In the first episode of this series, War on the Rocks' Senior Membership Editor Kerry Anderson joins Nicole for a candid conversation about the ways 9/11 changed America's focus on the Middle East, her day-to-day life as a young professional in the D.C. security space, and the pair's individual takes on 9/11 as a defining moment across generations.
