Transcript for the Piece Audio version of The Stories of September Eleventh Families for Peaceful Tomorrows

original lead
(you'll probably want to replace the beginning with a more timely news hook, perhaps about the progress of the 9/11 Commission, plans for rebuilding the WTC site or recent developments in the "War on Terror"):

As President Bush used the anniversary of September 11th to claim progress in fighting the war on terror and possibly expand it beyond Iraq and Afghanistan, we're going to listen today to the stories of people for whom the terrorist attacks not only provided a life-altering experience but determined their roles as lifelong peacemakers. They're the mothers, wives, sisters and brothers of people who were killed in the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, and they've formed themselves into a group called September Eleventh Families for Peaceful Tomorrows.

In the months following the attacks, independent radio producer Scott Gurian followed several members of this group as they took part in a walk for peace between Washington, DC and New York City. He also had the opportunity to sit down with Amber Amundson, Colleen Kelly, Phyllis Rodriguez and David Potorti to listen to their stories. We present now [the first part of] an hour-long audio documentary he produced.
