Patch Remembers 9/11 in 911 Snapshots

From across the country, South Cobb Patch and hundreds of other Patch sites captured the faces, keepsakes, memorials, ceremonies, flags, fund-raisers, deployments and the still-raw emotions that followed the attacks.

Nearly every American and millions all over the world were affected by the 9/11 attacks. It brought us to our knees– in sorrow, in disbelief and in prayer.
Β We then helped each other to our feet in a brand of American unity that some may have never experienced before then. Today on the 10th anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001, let's stand together again and remember the lives lost and the renewed spirit of unity felt after that day.

Each of us has our own 9/11 story. To help reflect the endless diversity of our experiences, Patch looked out across our sites to pull together 911 snapshots of everyday Americans whose lives were changed by the events of that day.
