Touched By Terror: Patch Remembers 9/11 in 911 Snapshots

Millions of people across the country were affected by the Sept. 11 attacks. Some experienced the tragic loss of a loved one, some found an inspiring way to help those who were grieving and others experienced a political awakening.

To help reflect the endless diversity of their 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.

From across the country, Loma Linda Patch and hundreds of others captured the faces, keepsakes, memorials, ceremonies, flags, fundraisers, deployments and the still-raw emotions that followed the attacks.

Taken together, they create a powerful mosaic that is large in scope but often deeply personal. Click through to see how your neighbors near and far marked the day.

Music for the video is by Martin Tallstrom. His music is available on his website.
