9/11 Stories Around the Region; How Did the Day Move You to Action?

Patchers around the St. Louis area sought out examples of people who were moved to action or forever changed in some way by the events of Sept. 11, 2001. We'd love you to add your story and pictures.

Editors from across Patchland have spent a few weeks compiling stories — your stories — spurred by the events of Sept. 11, 2001. With the commemoration of the 10th anniversary coming, we know that the terrorist attacks on that day had lingering effects on all of us.

In some cases, it's a reminder of the pain. In others, it's spurred us to action. We all have a story. Here are some of the stories we found around the St. Louis area, from Wentzille to Arnold, from Florissant to Eureka.

See if these stories sound familiar to you — and if they spark something you recall, or you'd like to share your story, please comment or add a photo. We'd dearly love to hear from you.
