Boy Honors 9/11 Victims By Volunteering Instead Of Birthday Party

William Faber turned 25 on September 11 just like any other young boy would, except he spent that day serving others instead of throwing a party. When his parents explained the true weight of the date to him at age 10, he stopped celebrating himself out of respect for a family friend who died in the attack and for all the victims. Now Faber chooses to volunteer on his birthday as a way to honor their memory.

Fox Nation is releasing a new special that highlights stories like Faber's from Americans born on September 11, 2001. Harris Faulkner hosts "Born on 9/11: 25 Years with Harris Faulkner," which looks at how this specific birthday shaped lives defined by service, faith, and community. The documentary follows individuals who have given back as they grew up.

During a Tuesday appearance on "Outnumbered," Faulkner noted that roughly 13,000 babies were born across the United States that tragic day. Faber explains that he never celebrated on the actual date after his parents told him the story of what happened. He wanted to honor those who lost their lives rather than mark another year of his own life with a party.

These members of Gen Z are now coming of age and using their own methods to keep the memory alive. They face the reality that the lessons learned from that tragedy remain relevant today. "Born on 9/11: 25 Years" is currently available to stream for Fox Nation subscribers on demand or via the mobile app. Viewers can start a free trial at Fox Nation to access the extensive library of programming featuring favorite personalities.
