Add Your Voice to Our Community Blog Remembering Sept. 11

It’s been 12 years since terrorists hijacked four jetliners and carried out the Sept. 11 attack on our country. 

A dozen years of hurting. 

A dozen years of healing.

To remember the events of that day, honor the sacrifice of those who lost their lives, and reflect on how we’ve changed as Americans, we’ve created an online memorial where you can share your thoughts about 9/11 in our community blog Grayslake Remembers Sept. 11.

What do you remember most about that morning? Did you attend the candlelight vigil held that week in downtown Grayslake? What has the day come to mean in your life? Speak out, and help us create a living history of how Grayslake sees Sept. 11.
