H.E.A.R.T. 9/11 Joins In Ceremony
Tuesday, November 11th, 2008
Andrew Robinson and wife Sara make their way up their new driveway past the crowd honoring him.
On Monday, November 10, 2008, H.E.A.R.T. 9/11 President Bill Keegan, along with a contingent of H.E.A.R.T. 9/11 members, participated in a ceremony to turn over the keys of their newly constructed home to United States Marine Corps Staff Sergeant Andrew Robinson and his wife Sara.
The event left the young Marine and his wife speechless. Attended by many dignitaries, friends and well wishers, the day was doubly satisfying for S/Sgt Andrew Robinson because it was also the US Marine Corps’ birthday.

(Healing Emergency Aid Response Team) 9/11, a non-profit volunteer response team, and its lead sponsor, Bear Stearns, sent fifty volunteers to St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana on their first mission to rebuild homes destroyed by Hurricane Katrina.

These volunteers were joined by family members of victims of 9/11, victims of the Oklahoma City bombing of 1995 and Bear Stearns employees.
