Title A name given to the resource Service Employees International Union Stories Description An account of the resource Among the thousands directly affected by the attacks were members of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) who worked at or near the World Trade Center and Pentagon as janitors, porters, security guards, public employees, building engineers, emergency medical technicians, and firefighters. In the days and weeks that followed the tragedy, several recounted their stories -- how they escaped the buildings, how they helped others to safety, and how they struggle with grief, emotional difficulties, and financial hardship. This collection contains more than fifty of these stories. SEIU Story SEIU Story: Story My prayers go out to everyone that has been afected by this terrible tragedy. The day after the attack I started making red, white, and blue ribbons to wear on your lapel (I call them freedom ribbons)I decided to make one for every person that was lost that day and to give them away. I have make a total of 3,100 ribbons so far and still alot to go. To my surprise people started donating money and this money will be sent to this relief fund. I just wanted to try to do something to help in some small way. On September 11, I became a New Yorker too, and I am looking foward to my first visit to NY next spring.
