The nonprofit group 9/11 Day runs the 9/11 Day of Service, in collaboration with many partners. The mission of 9/11 day is to annually unite the nation, and turn September 11 from a day of tragedy into a day of doing goodin tribute to the 9/11 victims and their families, and the many who rose in service in response to the attacks, including first responders, rescue and recovery workers, and members of our military.
