I caught a brief segment on the Today show last week that captured my attention. People around the country are joining together to do something special on Sept. 11 of this year in honor of the terrorist attack victims who died on that day two years ago.
The initiative, called "One Day's Pay," encourages people to do something on that day to help someone else. Although the name indicates spending one day's pay on another person, that's not necessarily required. But everyone around the U.S. should do something on that day to help another. It could be buying groceries for the person standing next to you in the checkout line. It could be donating money to a charitable cause, writing a letter to a soldier overseas or taking flowers to residents in a nursing home.
