On this special 9/11 episode of the 8158 Podcast: Stories of Sacrifice, we pause to honor the lives lost, the heroes who ran toward danger, and the families who continue to carry the weight of that day. We reflect on the mission of our podcast and the William H. “Bill” Butler Jr. Foundation—lifting up first responders, veterans, and their families through storytelling, support, and community. As we remember the unity that defined us in the days after 9/11, we also address today’s heavy news: the tragic murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. In a time marked by division, we discuss the urgent need to reject violence, stand together, and recommit to compassion, civility, and care for one another. If today stirs up painful memories, please reach out. Healing happens in community—you are not alone. 💙 💙 Support the mission: Donate to the William H. “Bill” Butler Jr. Foundation: 🔗 https://www.8158podcast.com/donate 🌐 Website: 🔗 https://www.8158podcast.com 🎙 Want to be a guest?
