9/11, Ten Years Later: Stories From Home and Abroad

Editor's note: Fox Point-Bayside Patch is looking for stories of local people whose lives changed—or others who changed their lives—as a result of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. If you or someone you know of were affected by this event, please email sarah.worthman@patch.com. 

On Friday, Fox Point-Bayside Patch brought you the , rabbi at Congregation Sinai. Ten years ago, on Sept. 11, 2001, he was desperately trying to remember which of the World Trade Center towers his brother-in-law worked in.

While watching the news coverage with others who would have been in a staff meeting that day, Rabbi David considered what these attacks would mean for our country.

"Then it sort of hit me like a bolt out of the blue, like, 'Oh my gosh, wait a second, that’s where Andy works,'" he said. 

This story and so many others reveal how the events of 9/11 have affected people across the United States and the world.

At the 10th anniversary, Patch journalists throughout Milwaukee and the entire country are telling those stories. A dazzling photo gallery collecting 911 anecdotes resides on Huffington Post, and a Patch in Western Pennsylvania that are memorialized around the nation. I also invite you to read these in-depth articles from the southeast Wisconsin Patch communities:
