Description
A nation in mourning. A city recovering. A unique moment in history when people came together to rebuild hope.
When an unimaginable crisis emerged, politically polarized Oregon found a common mission. Three weeks after the September 11th terrorist attacks, airplanes were empty and the New York economy was tanking. So one thousand Freedom Fliers committed to taking sixty-two flights to NYC and infusing local businesses with revenue to show their unwavering support.
Arriving en masse to the grief-filled streets, Oregonians from diverse backgrounds and social statuses came to make a difference in their fellow Americans' lives. But beyond the much-needed economic boost, these unsung heroes discovered themselves providing something even more essential... their open hearts.
In a comprehensive and poignant account, she brings this extraordinary and largely unknown story vividly to life. In Oregon Loves New York, you'll discover:
- How everyday people can make a huge difference by being present for others in times of need.
- Ways a divided community can put aside politics, ideologies, and disagreements to achieve amazing things together.
- Heart-touching examples of the healing power of person-to-person contact and how we as a nation can honor each other.
- Insight into a little-known event with a huge impact, positive messages of hope, and much, much more!
Oregon Loves New York: A Story of American Unity After 9/11 is a stunning look into a country rising from the ashes of unthinkable catastrophe. If you like true-life narratives, triumphs over tragedy, and the goodness of the human spirit, then you'll be uplifted by Sally Ruth Bourrie's inspirational journey.
