Next month marks the 10-year anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and Rosemont Patch wants to hear your stories.
Where were you? What were the emotions you felt throughout that day and every day after?
I was a sophomore in high school at the time. I remember the bewildering conversations I had with friends as we met before school. Our day's lesson plans were completely thrown out. In geometry class, we discussed whether someone from Afghanistan had claimed responsibility.

It wasn't for some time that I grasped the enormity of what had happened.
But what we want to know are all of your stories, whether you have a connection to New York City, the World Trade Center, the Pentagon or any other aspect of the day's events, or if you joined the military after Sept. 11 as many of my high school classmates did.
