Marie Tillman: Serving on September 11
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/marie-tillman/serving-on-september-11_b_711429.html

This September 11, I'll be serving alongside First Lady Michelle Obama and the team from Mission Serve, renovating a veterans' retirement community in Virginia.

September 11 has a lot of meaning for all of us, and I'm not an exception. That day started me on my path to service.

Nine years ago this Saturday, I returned from an early morning run to find my then-fiancé, Pat, sitting on the couch, transfixed by the image on television.

As the World Trade Center Towers came crashing down, life for most Americans drastically changed. Flags went up overnight, and even in Phoenix, Arizona -- far removed from any perceived danger -- people walked around dazed and unsure.

1. Can't recommend Krakauer's book highly enough
Made me a huge admirer of Marie Tillman.
