The Munich Eye Remembers 9/11

Sun 11th Sep, 2011

September 11, 2001.  America's current generation's Pearl Harbor or Kennedy Assasination.  An event witnessed around the globe.  It was a day when terror hit every corner of the world.

U.S. Consul-General, Munich, Conrad R. Tribble has been a diplomat for the past 24 years and served in many posts around the world.  He sat down with The Munich Eye to discuss his 9/11 experience, the measures of public diplomacy taken by the U.S. after the attack, and where we are today.
