A Good Deed is Never Lost
- A tree is known by its fruit;
a man by his deeds.
A good deed is never lost;
he who sows courtesy reaps friendship,
and he who plants kindness gathers love.
St. Basil

About My Good Deed
Pledging to Do Good in Honor of Those Who Died on 9/11
MyGoodDeed.org was created in 2002 as a way to honor the victims and heroes of 9/11 and preserve the spirit of unity and compassion that existed in the nation following the terrorist attacks.In the early days people and organizations were encouraged to keep the 9/11 spirit of unity alive by performing good deeds on 9/11 and every day throughout the year. In 2007 nearly 382,000 people pledged a good deed and posted them on the site.
Finally in 2009 with the help of more than 22 other leaders in the 9/11 community and strong bi-partisan backing, they were able to secure passage of federal legislation incorporated into the Edward M. Kennedy ServeAmerica Act.
This act formally recognized and lead to the establishment of September 11 as an official National Day of Service and Remembrance.
For more about the History of MyGoodDeed, see their website.

- As always I think of my son, who was to have celebrated his 21st birthday on 9-11. While he is doing fine, he never got to celebrate that special day, since those terrible events just took any desire to be happy out of all of us. I also think back to what I was doing on that day, and how the events unfolded, events that few of us could have imagined possible.
