Share Your Story on How 9-11 Impacted Your Life

As we sit on the eve of the 10th anniversary of the unforgettable tragedy that unfolded in the United States on September 11, 2001, across the globe people are taking time to remember the horrid events and reflect on how the world has changed since the fateful day. A day that took the lives of 2,974 people, not including the 19 hijackers. Of those who lost their lives, 8 where children: 5 on American 77 ranging in age from 3 to 11, 3 on United 175 ages 2, 3, and 4. In the towers, the youngest victim was 17 years old.

In preparation for tomorrows anniversary post I wanted reflect on the previous years’ posts and give readers an opportunity to comment on how that day impacted or changed your life. Please post your remarks in the comments section of this post. Thank you!
