Actors, including Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts, Tom Cruise and Clint Eastwood, told stories of heroric acts by people who tried to save others from the burning Word Trade Center and the Pentagon. Former heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali made a rare public appearance in a show of support.
The appeals alienated with performances by such-popular entertainers as Bruce Springs teen, Mariah Carey, Stevie Wonder, Paul Simon and the rock band U -2.
