Watch the full episode. See more Thirteen Forum.
A panel of leaders from volunteer organizations ended this year's "9/11, Tomorrow and Today" speakers series earlier this month. For upcoming events in 2011, visit national911memorial.org.
If you weren't able to make the speakers series event at the 9/11 Memorial Preview Site at 20 Vesey St., watch it here or on Thirteen Forum courtesy of WNET.org.
Here's a little about those three leaders, who met the challenge of service, response and relief and crisis counseling across the county and globe:
Jay S. Winuk is co-founder and vice president of MyGoodDeed, the nonprofit organization that led the advocacy campaign to establish 9/11 as an annually recognized National Day of Service and Remembrance, which was signed into law by President Obama in April 2009. On Sept. 11, 2001, Jay lost his younger brother Glenn J. Winuk, an attorney and volunteer firefighter, who was killed in the line of duty when the South Tower collapsed. Millions of people from all 50 states and countries all over the world now mark Sept. 11 to serve people and communities in need. Also attending will be Bill Keegan of H.E.A.R.T. 911 and a member of the New York Says Thank You Foundation.
