Americans in Wartime Experience

Kathryn Burton

9/11

On September 11th, 2001, Kathryn was working in Manhattan as a graphics designer, only two blocks away from the World Trade Center.  What she witnessed that day would forever change her life and inspire her to go into the field of law enforcement.  Kathryn is now a K9 handler with the DOD and says she works to help prevent another day like 9/11 from ever happening again.
