In less than two weeks, we will recognize the 20th anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001, when four commercial airliners were hijacked mid-flight by al-Qaeda terrorists, colliding with the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, with one crashing in a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Almost 3,000 people were killed.

The U.S. launched its war on terror in response, officially ending it just days ago as President Joe Biden pulled all troops from Afghanistan.

The war on terror may be over, but the memory of that day will forever live on. We would like to hear your story — including how your faith may have helped you on Sept. 11, 2001, and after.
