  Paying Tribute with Service

In his Weekly Address [ http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2012/09/08/weekly-address-coming-together-remember-september-11th?utm_source=091012&utm_medium=topper&utm_campaign=daily ], President Obama talks about one of the legacies of September 11, 2001.

"Instead of turning inward with grief," he said, "we’ve honored the memory of those we lost by giving back to our communities, serving those in need, and reaffirming the values at the heart of who we are as a people."

That’s why we mark each September 11th [ http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2012/09/08/paying-tribute-service?utm_source=091012&utm_medium=topper&utm_campaign=daily ] as a National Day of Service and Remembrance -- an act that Congress made official in 2009 and which President Obama signed into law.
