NEW YORK -- The hero that has emerged from Tuesday's terrorism that shook the United States is humanity.

Americans donated blood yesterday until the banks could hold no more. They stood in hour-long lines to donate their services to help in the rescue efforts. Workers sifted through gray ash and the rubble of what were once buildings in the hope of finding more survivors.

A suburb in the Detroit, MI area has been busy gathering donations for all the volunteers and emergency personnel in New York City. The response has been tremendous. There has been a steady flow of people all day yesterday and throughout the night donating armfull and cartfull of items. Items such as, flashlights, batteries, dog food, paper towels, breathing masks, towels, bottled water, packaged soft drinks, wet-ones, dog treats, paper towels and other items.

This is our small way of "doing something" for those heroes that are risking their lives to save others.
