FORT WORTH, Texas (BP)–The tragic events of Sept. 11, 2001, will be marked on FamilyNet Television with special programming and live feeds on Wednesday, Sept. 11, and at other times during the month.

Also, commercials on Sept. 11 will be preempted between the hours of 9 a.m.-noon and 6-7 p.m. Eastern time.

Currently scheduled:

— “At Home — Live!” (Wed. 9/11, 11 a.m., Eastern) with Chuck and Jenni Borsellino will feature a live satellite feed from the roof of Gateway Plaza located one block from Ground Zero. Field correspondent Ralph Baker will conduct interviews overlooking the site with people whose lives were changed forever on 9/11.

But hidden within that act of retaliation is the less familiar story of two men: Jake DeShazer, one of the Raiders who was captured and became a Christian as a P.O.W. in Japan, then later returned to Japan as an evangelist, and Mitsuo Fuchida, the Japanese commander who led the attack against Pearl Harbor, but who later — through the ministry of DeShazer — also became a Christian and returned to Hawaii himself as a minister.
