9/11: A Day of Giving Back
On September 11, Americans reflect on the horrific attacks that happened on that date in 2001. We think of tragedy, but we also think of Americans coming together. First responders, communities, everyday Americans working together to help each other. That spirit still continues today.
In the spirit of the day, Americans are going out and helping in their communities, sharing their experiences on #911DayofService and #911Day. Here are some of the ways people are giving back:

Out of the tragedy, we honor the spirit of community that got America through the aftermath of 9/11. We will never forget.
