fundación "The United Way"
Explanation:
“El 11 de septiembre el odio cambió nuestras vidas. En respuesta, millones de personas han mostrado su generosidad y su profundo sentido de unidad”. Esa frase se puede leer una y otra vez en los diarios y revistas de la ciudad de Nueva York, al mismo tiempo que se transmiten comerciales en la televisión donde aparecen personas de todas las nacionalidades, razas y religiones diciendo: “Yo... soy americano”. Este es el espíritu de los EE.UU.: "The United Way".
