This past Saturday, 9/11, I posted a bit about the National Day of Service and Remembrance on my “Well-Groomed Hippie” blog. The September 11 National Day of Service and Remembrance is the culmination of a seven-year effort started by 9/11 family members and support groups to establish the service day as a way to honor…
