I caught a 9/11 special, a replay of an earlier show where Jessica Lynch followed through on a promise, through this show, to take care of Lori Piestewa's family. Incredible show.

I saw that show, too. It was really great! I definitely had tears flowing on that one - Lori seemed like an incredible woman with a wonderful family.
The show last week about the medic who lost his leg in Iraq was incredible too.
What is weird is that early on during the aftermath of Katrina--on one of NautiNurse's hurricane threads--I posted that the White House and Extreme Makeover Home Addition should get together and do a show centered around Katrina victims. Guess I wasn't the only one that saw that as a good PR move for the Administration. .
I posted my recollection of that show before I read yours ... I was incredibly moved by it, and so proud that they not only helped Jessica Lynch's promise, but that they had not "Yeah, but..." moments in the show. Really good.
I also like the sense of charity that is NON-GOVERNMENTAL in nature.
