About 60 Leon County government employees and other volunteers spent the morning of Thursday, Aug. 18 sprucing up part of the Capital City Estates neighborhood near Capital Circle and Crawfordville Highway. The County\u2019s Shington Lamy said it was the 11th Annual Day of Service in advance of next month\u2019s 9\/11 anniversary.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo we\u2019re out here picking up debris, painting the exterior of homes (and) pressure washing. We\u2019re proud to do this in our community. We\u2019ve got about 15 homes that we\u2019re doing this year. We\u2019re partnering with Crossway Baptist Church. This is an opportunity that many of us love to participate in and we\u2019re here today with our neighbors from Capital City Estates.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even 21 years later, the memory of 9\/11 is still strong in America. But for one of the project volunteers, former New Yorker Jim Kocha, that recollection is far more vivid.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, I was there for 9\/11 both times; in \u201893 when they failed and hit the basement and didn\u2019t take the Tower down and when they came back in \u201801, I was literally right across the street and managed to get out before the Towers collapsed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since moving to Tallahassee, Kocha has been a regular volunteer with the County\u2019s yearly Day of Remembrance and Service, a precious chance he said to “give thanks for what I’ve got and pay it forward.” <\/p>\n
