Thousands of volunteers from communities throughout Utah gathered Saturday to perform service projects as part of the annual 9/11 Day of Service.
LEHI — Over two decades later, the 9/11 terrorist attacks and a nation's vow to never forget has become an enduring legacy across generations and communities.
Each year, communities nationwide with varying backgrounds and ideologies come together to join in the Sept.11 National Day of Service and Remembrance for an official day of service. A reported 35 million Americans participate in offering some form of charitable service on the anniversary and official day of service, according to 9/11 nonprofit MyGoodDeed.
The stacks of letters continued to grow during the event — with short thank you's, heartfelt notes filling the entire notecard or children's drawings in bright colors. One volunteer who had just completed a quilt held it tight to her chest for a moment after folding it.
