WE REMEMBER: WHERE WERE YOU ON SEPT. 11, 2001?
Twenty-five years later, most of us who lived through Sept. 11, 2001, can still remember exactly where we were when we first heard the news.
For a special “We Remember” section in next week’s newspaper, we want to preserve those memories from people right here in our community.
Where were you when you heard about the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001? What do you remember about that moment or that day?
Your memory can be as short as a sentence or a few sentences.
For example:
“I was at work when someone came in and told us to turn on the television. We all stopped what we were doing and watched in disbelief.”
Share your memory in the comments below. Please include your name and town.
Selected responses will be published in our 25th Anniversary “We Remember” commemorative section in next week’s newspaper.
:us: Help us tell the story of Sept. 11 through the memories of our own community.
