A month from today will mark the 10-year anniversary of 9/11. As we near a decade since what has been deemed the worst terrorist attack against the United States, Patch is reaching out for your stories.

We're hoping to compile personal narratives into a series of photo essays that capture 9/11's aftermath, especially here in Glenview.

How have you changed since 9/11/01?

Has a member of your family been deployed or in the process of being deployed? Did you switch political parties in the wake of the attacks? Did you take up volunteering efforts? Have you stopped driving an SUV? Did you start marching in rallies?

If you have a story to tell, or would like to know more about the project, please feel free to email me: lisao@patch.com.

Stay tuned to Patch for more on the 10th Anniversary of 9/11. Feel free to also "Like" Des Plaines Patch on Facebook to get news on your wall and join the conversation.
