September 11 Memories: Share One on Patch

It's been 11 years to the day that the Twin Towers were struck by terrorists, a plane smashed into the Pentagon and one crashed in Pennsylvania.

The ceremonies have winded down a bit, although not entirely.

Pat Lindstrom, a DeKalb Firefighter, ran the stairs of the Manhattan building on Olde Perimeter Way Saturday, a nod to the firefighters who lost their lives and a charitable tradition he started last year.

This day on 2001, 343 New York firefighters died trying to rescue others. Sixty officers died from the New York Police Department.

It was a day that forever changed America. We we were vulnerable again.

We'd like to know how you personally reflect on a day like today. Do you read a news story and remember where you were? Do you reflect on loved ones or families that you knew that were affected by the tragedy?
