National Day of Remembrance and Service is recognized each year on the anniversary of Sept. 11. On the 20th anniversary of the attacks, Sandy City came together in projects big and small to give service throughout the month. “I was asked to coordinate all of the service projects that were planned during September for the National Day of Remembrance and Service. In total, it involved about 4,000 Sandy residents. It was a huge project, and so cool to be a part of it,” said Sandy City Council member Brooke Christensen. Christensen was contacted by religious and civic groups from all over Sandy. Sept. 11 itself turned out to be a rainy day off and on, which kept some people away. But Christensen said the turnout makes her proud to be part of the community. “I was contacted by and worked with numerous LDS stakes, the Well Church, Community of Grace Presbyterian, K2 Church, the Catholic Church’s women’s group, The Utah Islamic Center, schools, political leaders and candidates, the Dimple Dell Preservation Committee and many others,” Christensen said. Christensen said that the service given by residents honored the idea of the day—people from different backgrounds coming together to serve and celebrate what unites them. “In addition to the people from all different churches and other groups, I saw people of all ages from babies in strollers to elderly people in their 80s and 90s working together,” Christensen said.
