Kristen Breitweiser, 9/11 widow and activist, is known for pressuring official Washington to provide a public accounting to the American people of what went wrong on the morning of September 11 and in the months leading up to the disaster that claimed the life of her husband and more than 3000 others.

Breitweiser was born and raised in Monmouth County, New Jersey and is mother to her seven-year old daughter, Caroline Whitney and their golden retriever, Cooper
