As the 25th Anniversary of VOICES founding approaches, we reflect on our longstanding commitment to our mission: to help tens-of-thousands of individuals impacted by 9/11 heal, to honor the lives lost, and to assist communities in preparing for and responding to other tragedies.
July 4th marks the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, signed in 1776. Our nation has always stood for freedom and its founding ideals: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. As we celebrate this milestone, it is a time to reflect on our country's resilience when people unite for the greater good.
