The Shared Stories of 9/11

"Wake up. The World Trade Center is gone."

That's how Sept. 11, 2001, started for Gwen Navarrete. And maybe for you, too.

The shared nature of the tragedy both broke and, paradoxically, strengthened the heart of a nation.

In a collaboration between Yahoo! News and Associated Content, we asked people like you to share again, nine years later, what they went through and what they learned (or didn't) from that terrible time. "Our day of infamy," Melissa Danysh calls it. She's one of many voices we heard from.

Very touching stories! I was not directly affected by the attacks, but those who lost their lives on 9/11 will forever be in my heart.
