The City Wire seeks your input on Sept. 11 remembrance

Count The City Wire in as one of the hundreds of media outlets around the nation soliciting comments from citizens about their thoughts on the 10th anniversary of the tragic events of Sept. 11, 2001.

This effort by the numerous newspapers, web publications and other outlets is an effort to respectfully remember those who died, those who helped save lives, and the men and women who have carried the fight to the enemy.

Specifically, we are asking readers to consider providing responses to the following questions:
• Where were you and who were you with when you first heard of or saw the tragic events of Sept. 11?

• What were you first thoughts of the terrible events?

• What, if any, unique connections did you at the time have to the people and places involved in those events?

• At the time, what did you think of the country’s military response to 9/11?

• Upon reflection, have those thoughts changed, and if so, how?

• Do you believe the country is more or less safe from terrorist attacks now than on Sept. 10? Or no difference?  Please briefly explain your answer.

However, feel free to comment on any aspect of Sept. 11.

Also, you may send photos you believe may be related to the anniversary — photos from your visit of ground zero in New York City after the attacks, your photos from serving on the front lines, etc.

Please know that comments sent may be edited for brevity and clarity.

Deadline for comment submission is 5 p.m., Sept. 7. Submit your comments and photos to:
TCW-Sept. 11 (place in the subject line of the e-mail)
