9/11 stirred profound sentiments from foreign relations policies to the acts of heroism in the aftermath of the attacks. We chose to focus on the acts of kindness and compassion.
Caring people stepped forward to save lives and recover. We need people like this for us to thrive throughout the entire world. Could you be one of those kinds of heroes in your own community?
Below are examples of ordinary people, being extra-ordinary.
Everyone can be a hero. (This one left me with tears of joy for what is possible)
September 11th the largest boat lift in American history occurred and half a million people were evacuated from Manhattan in 9 hours.
How did this happen? What heroism made this possible? Do you have it in you? The following is a documentary short film, BOATLIFT, narrated by Tom Hanks.
We encourage you to take a moment to view it and remember the acts of heroism, large and small, displayed on this day that we will never forget.
Head of Security at the World Trade Center
Rick Rescorla was the head of security for Morgan Stanley since 1987, and from the first day on the job he predicted a disaster like the 9/11 terrorist attack.
He found breaches in security and made very serious attempts to improve security measures to protect two of the tallest buildings in the world.
When the attack occurred Rescorla climbed the stairs of the towers over and over in an attempt to save as many people as he could, but he never left the towers. He was supposed to be on vacation that day. Saved hundreds of lives before dying in the tragedy that he knew all along was coming.
He is one heck of a great human being that should never be forgotten. The world would be a much better place if we all could look out for each other. We are 1.
I could be a hero too. I am risking it all to help you protect your home, your life savings and loved ones….. BUT I need support to do this. Will people hear me before it is too late?
Like Rick Rescorla, I take disaster prevention VERY seriously. I don’t feel insurance companies do. They are into profit maximization more than they are your well-being, so we must gather our knowledge and experience to help each other. We can do this!
The image of Robin was when he donated blood after 9/11.

About the project: Instead of “liking” Robin and all that he stood for, you are being invited to be Robin for someone else. Let’s echo an immense legacy and fill the world with MORE love.
Let’s rise to the occasion and show that all the love Robin has given to us mattered in imagining and creating a better world for us all.
