September 11 -- The New Day of Infamy

On September 11, 2001 the USA was subjected to the worst terrorist attack in world history. Here's some ideas on how you can be a better citizen and help with the terrible aftermath of this event.

My personal thoughts on the day.

What You Can Do

You've seen the awful images and listened to the emotional accounts. Now it's time for you to help out. Charities need money for supplies and victim's funds, hospitals need blood, and victims and their families need support.

• To donate blood, contact your local American Red Cross by calling: 1-800-448-3543.
  Donations of blood type O- (universal donor) are especially needed during these times.
  You can also donate money online.
