25-Year-Olds Born on 9/11 Choose Service Over Celebration
A new Fox Nation documentary profiles people born on September 11, 2001, who now mark their 25th birthdays by volunteering instead of partying.
Fox Nation has released a documentary called "Born on 9/11: 25 Years with Harris Faulkner" that examines the lives of Americans born on the day of the 2001 terror attacks as they turn 25. The program features stories like that of William Faber, who decided at age ten to forgo celebrating his birthday on September 11 after his parents explained the significance of the date, opting instead to volunteer in his community. The film notes that roughly 13,000 babies were born across the United States on that day and explores how the event’s legacy influences their sense of service, faith, and community involvement.
Participants describe a desire to honor the victims by giving back rather than holding personal celebrations. The documentary is now available for streaming on Fox Nation for subscribers.
