How Will You Remember 9/11?

It's been eight years since the tragic attacks on the Twin Towers in New York City. To remember the day, 9/11 will officially be known as National Day of Service and Remembrance for the first time.

"Eight years ago, the tragic events of that Tuesday morning inspired Americans to come together in a remarkable spirit of unity and compassion," said President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama in a message urging Americans to serve on 9/11. "In that same spirit, we call on all Americans to join in service on September 11 and honor the heroes of that dark day as well as the brave men and women in uniform who continue to protect our country at home and abroad."

50 states will work together to run food drives, neighborhood repairs, cleanups, prepare care packages, collecting donations and honoring veterans and soldiers. Serve.gov lists over 250,000 volunteer opportunities for everyone to pitch in and help.
