After a speech from President Barack Obama Patti took the stage to perform her most powerful rendition of the song "Two Steps Away". She wrote that song in 2003 with her friend Jon Delise and recorded it for her 2004 "Timeless Journey". Thie raw emotion for the 9/11 victims was incredible! She left the microphone at the Kennedy Center and was heard to the back rows! 67 years young! INCREDIBLE!!!
