Voices from the 9/11 community
"We can’t bring our loved ones back. But perhaps in tribute, we can work to rekindle the spirit of unity that arose in the aftermath of the attacks."

"We wanted something positive to come from the loss of so many innocent people in such a terrible way. We didn't want the terrorists to forever define how 9/11 would be remembered."
David Paine
9/11 Day Co-Founder
"As a volunteer firefighter and attorney, my brother Glenn lived his life – and died – in service to others. Making 9/11 a day of doing good deeds reflects the way he lived his life. He’d welcome this kind of observance."
Jay Winuk
9/11 Day Co-Founder, lost his brother Glenn at the WTC
“Don't ever forget these days, boys. We came in as individuals. And we'll walk out together.”
Joe Bradley
