President Bush challenged the nation Monday to rekindle the volunteer spirit it had after the worst terrorist attacks in U.S. history, when people rushed to help others however they could.

"The truth of the matter is, the farther we've gotten away from 9/11, that memory has begun to fade," Bush told an audience of volunteers on the South Lawn.

Bush's support for a variety of volunteer efforts is a message the White House wants to get out — particularly in the context of the Sept. 11 attacks.

Do you feel Bush "desecrated" 9/11 by making a call for volunteerism?

The idea of establishing 9/11 as a National Day of Service was first conceived in 2001 by the founders of MyGoodDeed, a nonprofit started by friends and relatives of 9/11 victims.

"Families are invested in creating living legacies for their loved ones," said Mary Fetchet, whose son Brad died in one of the towers.

Do you feel the families and friends of 9/11 victims have "desecrated" 9/11 for advocating for a day of service for the past 10 years as well? I'm truly curious.
