Share Your 9/11 Stories With Cumming Patch

This Sept. 11 marks the 10-year anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the Twin Towers in New York and the Pentagon, with another Washington-bound jet crashing into a field near Shanksville, Pa.

As part of Patch's coverage and commemoration, we are putting together images and human interest stories about how that tragic date has affected us all.

Were you in New York at the time? Did you have family or friends who were affected? Do you know of anyone who was deployed to fight in Iraq or Afghanistan?

If your life was in some way changed by the events of 9/11, we're asking for photos or personal accounts to share with our readers.

Please send a digital file copy of your photo and your story to liz.kennedy@patch.com.
