Check out this short video containing footage from the 9/11 attacks, showcasing the “people in blue” near the end.
Did you know…
- The Salvation Army was the first relief agency to arrive at the scene of the 9/11 attacks, reporting within a half-hour of the first plane hitting?
- Officials granted us full control of the feeding operation at Ground Zero – a relief effort called Compassion Under Fire – for nine months following the attacks?
- We served 3.2 million meals to victims, volunteers, firemen, policemen, and emergency disaster relief workers?
- Salvation Army pastoral caregivers provided emotional and spiritual support to rescue and recovery workers?
We couldn’t have done any of this without the thousands of loving volunteers and generous donors that served our efforts.
Thank you for your support of The Salvation Army.
