Never Forget: Share Your 9/11 Memories with Woodinville Patch

September 11, 2001.

Every American knows that date. Most adults could tell you what they were doing the moment they heard American was under attack.

It is a date that will forever be etched into our memories: Sept. 11, 2001. The deadliest terrorist attacks on American soil divided our history into pre- and post-9/11.

From the war on terror and the thousands of brave servicemen and women who have given their lives to keep America safe, to a shifting political landscape, the events of that day have forever changed our country.

The attacks touched all Americans, not just the ones who were in New York or Washington or a field in Pennsylvania that fateful day, or those who have suffered the unspeakable pain of losing loved ones to the attacks themselves and the wars that followed.

In one month, the United States will mark a somber milestone: The 10-year anniversary of 9/11. And we want to hear from you.

Everyone has a story to tell about that day and how it’s changed their lives. Maybe the threat to our nation inspired you or a loved one to become one of the brave men and women of the U.S. military.

Maybe it’s changed your political outlook or affiliation, or made you want to do something to make the world a better place.

Maybe it’s just forever changed who you are as a person.

Patch wants to tell the stories, not just of the bigger picture and the global events, but of the way 9/11 has touched every community in America—including Woodinville.

If you’ve got a story to tell, we want to hear it. To share your experiences and remembrances of 9/11, contact Woodinville Patch Editor Annie Archer at ann.archer@patch.com or 425-354-8301.
