The patriotic fervor of the US citizen following 9/11 was enormous. Many wondered whether this would be sustained.

Since President Bush asked his fellow citizens to help the less fortunate, the response has been overwhelming. Fully 68% of US citizens now volunteer their services in some way.

The patriotic fervor that swept through the United States following 9/11 was truly remarkable. It was a time of great unity and solidarity, as people came together to support one another and their country in the face of tragedy.
