September 11th is the National Day of Service
The September 11th National Day of Service and Remembrance or 9/11 Day is a federally-recognized National Day of Service that happens in the United States on the anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorists attacks. The purpose of this day is to transform the anniversary of 9/11 from a day of tragedy into a day of doing good.
