Gov. Beshear proclaims today, Sept.11, 2009, Day of Service Kentuckians are encouraged to recognize the actions of the heroes of 9/11 From Gov. Beshear's Communications Office FRANKFORT, KY -- On the eighth anniversary of the tragic events of September 11, 2001, Gov. Steve Beshear has proclaimed September 11, 2009 to be a Day of Service and Remembrance in Kentucky. The day has been named in the spirit of unity and compassion that Americans displayed across the country eight years ago. Kentuckians are encouraged to recognize the actions of the heroes of 9/11 and those fighting overseas while remembering the tragedy's victims by committing to serving their communities. The proclamation is also in accordance with events taking place across the nation. In April 2009, President Barack Obama signed the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act, which officially recognizes September 11th as a National Day of Service and Remembrance in the United States. "Service is an essential part of being an active citizen," said Gov. Beshear. "In recognition of the importance of giving back to our communities and helping our neighbors, particularly in such difficult economic times, this is a solemn reminder of the impact made by service in all its forms. From our men and women serving in the armed forces to those who volunteer time and energy to soup kitchens, there are many different ways to serve." The proclamation reads in part, "September 11, 2009 will mark the culmination of the summer phase of United We Serve, President Obama's nationwide initiative to create a sustained, collaborative, and focused effort to meet community needs and make service a way of life for all Americans, and also will mark an opportunity for Americans to recommit to service." For Kentuckians seeking volunteer opportunities, the Corporation for National and Community Service, with the assistance of service agencies across the nation, has established the Web site http://serve.gov as a resource.
