Over 400 employees from companies directly impacted by 9\/11 will assemble bicycles to donate to the children of active-duty United States military. First responders from the NYPD, FDNY and PAPD will assist volunteers to assemble the bikes.<\/p>\n

Volunteers and first responders will come together to remember loved ones, friends and colleagues, and to unite in the same remarkable way that the nation did in the aftermath of the attacks. 9\/11 Day of Service and Remembrance activities take place across the country throughout the month of September, as hundreds of thousands of volunteers paint and refurbish homes, organize food drives, restore schools, reclaim neighborhoods and support veterans, soldiers, military families and first responders. Participating in the bike build allows volunteers to commemorate friends and colleagues, and to invoke the ideals of service and humanitarianism that arose in the aftermath of the attacks.[\/vc_column_text][mk_blockquote style=”line-style” font_family=”none” font_size_combat=”true” text_size=”24″]At the 9\/11 Tribute Museum people directly affected by the terrorist attacks share their stories, the strength of community rebuilding and how voluntary acts of service have changed people\u2019s lives.
