the responders, recovery and clean-up teams who survived, have now been forgotten or abandoned. This year, the Freedom Foundation
will host for FAB (Feel, Act, Be Better) a one-day camp in September to work with the children of 9/11 responders dealing
with grief, loss, anger and depression. Freedom Flight 9/11
is a grassroots collaborative effort of a small group of friends. It is a day to remember those we will never forget. For more information visit: www.freedomflight911.com Contact:
