A Horse Lover’s Tribute to 9/11 – The Budweiser Clydesdales Help Us To “Never Forget”
Tuesday, September 11 2012
By Jan Westmark-Allan It’s easy for me to remember where I was on 9/11 – the barn. We heard the news that we were being attacked and we gathered around a small TV in the tack room and watched, overwhelmed with sadness and fear.
