On Patriot Day (September 11), we honor the firefighters, police officers, and helper heroes who worked hard to keep people safe and rebuild our country. Patriot Day reminds us that anyone can be a community hero by making a difference. Dreaming big means thinking of great ways to make your school, neighborhood, or world a better place. What is one big dream you have to help others? What is one hard-working step you can take right now to help make that dream come true?
