25 AUGUST, 2011 THE PHILADELPHIA DAILY RECORD | 3

Mayor Michael A. Nutter partici-

pated in events throughout Sunday

as part of the City of Philadel-

phia’s observance of the National

Day of Service and Remembrance

to mark the tenth anniversary of

Sep. 11, 2001. All the events took

place on or around Independence

Mall, near the birthplace of the

Nation.

The City’s observance embraced

the theme ‘Honor, Educate, Serve’

as a sign of hope for Philadelphia

and the nation. The day began with

the City Fire Department’s ‘9/11

Day of Remembrance’ March from

the Fireman’s Hall Museum to the

historic Betsy Ross House, which

included a flag folding ceremony

and bell tolling to honor the fallen.

“As we remember the events of

Sep. 11, 2001, we cannot recall

that day without thinking about the

men and women in uniform who

courageously fulfilled their duty

and saved the lives of so many,”

said the Mayor Nutter. “They rep-

resent the very best of our nation

and what it means to serve others.

With service comes honor, and no

one can deny the honor of these

Americans. I deeply appreciate the

men and women of the Philadel-

phia Police and Fire Departments,

EMS Units, and all of our City’s

First Responders who serve the

citizens of Philadelphia with dig-

nity and honor.”

During the afternoon, Nutter at-

tended Philadelphia’s third annual

Civic Engagement Expo and Vol-

unteer Service Project, coordinated

in partnership by Serve Philadel-

phia, Global Citizen and Greater

Philadelphia Cares. More than 100

community organizations partici-

pated in the Expo, while volun-

teers from around the region

participated in the Service Project:

an effort to package 10,000 meals

for people suffering from hunger

and disease in Somalia. Later, the

Mayor took part in the Prayer

Gathering of Memory and Hope

convened by the Religious Leaders

Council of Greater Philadelphia in

the Arch Street Friends Meeting

House. Leaders from a wide vari-

ety of faiths and traditions joined

Mayor Nutter in a call to stop vio-

lence in Philadelphia and around

the world.

The day of service and remem-

brance concluded with the City of

Philadelphia’s 9/11 Remembrance

Ceremony on Independence Mall.

Students from Mastery Charter

School gave a surprise pop-up per-

formance at the conclusion of Nut-

ter’s address to the people

gathered on the Mall to mark the

solemn anniversary. The Mastery

Charter students pledged in unison

to honor, educate and serve, re-

flecting the theme of the City’s day

of observance.

“Just as the families of those lost

on 9/11 honor the memory of their

loved ones; educate young people;

and serve each other in times of

need, so too must we as a city, a

region and a country honor those

who sacrifice for us at home and

abroad; educate each other about

our differences and our freedoms;

and serve our fellow citizens in

times of need,” said Nutter. “That

will be what defines us as a nation.

Ours is the American story, and

we will be the ones to write it.”

Are You A Flood Vic-

tim? Beware FEMA

Scammers

Always ask for identification if

someone approaches you about

your personal or business disaster

losses, advises the Federal Emer-

gency Management Agency and

the Pennsylvania Emergency Man-

agement Agency. If the person

claims to be with a government

agency they will have an official

ID. It’s very important not to give

out personal or business informa-

tion unless you are presented with

an ID. If you have any questions,

ask if you can call the person’s of-

fice for verification.

“It is a double tragedy to become a

victim of fraud after suffering the

effects of a disaster. But disaster

survivors become prime targets for

fraud, identity theft and other

crimes linked to the event,” said

Federal Coordinating Officer

Thomas J. MCool. Here’s what to

Mayor, Others Note Sad

10th Anniversary


expect from authorized officials.

All FEMA and PEMA representa-

tives will be wearing an official

picture ID in plain sight on their

person. The US Small Business

Administration follows the same

practice.

Insurance adjusters should be able

to provide identification upon re-

quest. Inspectors and adjusters will

call to arrange an appointment be-

fore visiting a disaster victim or

their property.

Local building inspectors who en-

sure compliance with building

codes should also have a picture

ID.

FEMA, PEMA, SBA or other offi-

cials will not ask for your personal

or financial information.

FEMA Fraud Hotline at 1(800)

323-8603.

Hughes Calls To Push

Through Jobs Act

“President Barack Obama made

his jobs presentation to Congress

and to the American people on

Thursday evening. He was pretty

dynamic and very determined,”

said State Sen. Vincent Hughes

(D-W. Phila.) “His $450 billion

proposal, entitled the American

Jobs Act, is comprehensive and is

paid for by additional cuts in the

federal budget. His constant re-

frain in his speech was for Con-

gress to pass the plan now, and that

the American people cannot wait. I

know we all agree the need to act

is now.

“According to the White House,

the purpose of the American Jobs

Act is simple: put more people

back to work and put more money

in the pockets of working Ameri-

cans. The plan won’t add a dime to

the deficit and is fully paid for

through a balanced deficit-reduc-

tion plan that includes closing cor-

porate tax loopholes and asking

the wealthiest Americans to pay

their fair share.

“Many leading economists and

corporations’ executive officers

weighed in on the proposal. Pimco

CEO Bill Gross said if it is passed,

it could lead to ‘hundreds of thou-

sands of jobs.’ Citigroup Chairman

Richard Parsons issued a statement

noting, ‘The President’s proposed

combination of personal and busi-

ness tax relief, targeted spending

to support infrastructure, and aid to

states offers several direct and in-

novative ways of creating jobs and

bolstering our economy. The Presi-

dent’s focus on assisting small

business is spot on, since small

business is the engine of job cre-

ation.’

“It is time to put differences aside

and put this jobs package in place

– the American people have suf-

fered far too long. I know so many

of you unfortunately understand

this struggle first hand. I encour-

age everyone to let his or her

member of Congress know that

you want the American Jobs Act

passed now. Together, we can put

people back to work.”
