In just a few days our nation will stop to reflect on the ten-year anniversary of the worst terror attack on American soil.

We all remember where we were on that terrible day. The images are forever burned into our minds. We have our own impressions and memories of September 11, 2001.
I’d like you to share with us your memories of 9-11, your thoughts and prayers for those who lost family and friends in the attack.
Do you have any photos of the 9-11 site or memorial?
Were you in New York City or Washington DC on that day? Were you flying? Did you go to New York or Washington to help in recovery efforts?
How has 9-11 changed your life?
Send us your memories in 500 words of less to newsrelease@wymtnews.com Please include your name and contact information (email and/or phone number). This information is not for publication.
I’ll use some of your stories here on the blog and some on WYMT Mountain News at Six.
