Every year since that fateful day...We collect food for a local food bank in memory of all those lost that day.
We remember the thousands of victims on that day.
We remember the heroes who went to help others.
We remember the families and the loss that they feel every day.
We remember that each one of us can make a small difference every day in the life of someone else.
As we make these bags, drop them to neighbors, pick them up on September 11th, and drop them to the food bank, we remember.
It gives us a chance to remember that event that changed our country forever.
Ellie, Annie and Tymber were not even alive when the moments of that day occurred, but we share with them everything we remember.
I am so grateful for the examples of so many.
The brave souls who took down their own plane to save so many others.
The firefighters who ran up those stairs against the hundreds running down and out.
The families who waited, with tears streaming down their faces, for their phone call, for the news of their loved one.
May we all be so brave.
