KTLA is on site to cover Pepperdine’s Waves of Flags display. It was around this time, 24 years ago, that I arrived on base at MCRD San Diego and learned that a plane had struck the World Trade Center in NYC. Today, we remember 9/11 and the 2,977 lives lost on that terrible day.

When our baby boy came into the world and we were confronted by the realization that Zach had significant special needs, my wife Michelle cried out to God, “How are we going to take care of this precious boy?” She heard God’s answer in that moment, “I will take care of you and I
