Today is Sept. 11, and as a reminder of this day, we wanted to give you some space to share your thoughts with the community. Maybe you were in New York City, Washington D.C. or Pennsylvania on that day or, perhaps, your friends or family were. Maybe you were right here in your home town. Wherever you were, we're sure you remember Sept. 11, 2001, and the impact it has had on our country. We want to know — Did Sept. 11 change you? What are your thoughts now, 11 years later? How have you changed since that day? How do you think it changed Reading and North Reading? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments. Remember to keep it clean.
