Today we recognize one of the most significant Tuesday mornings in history, September 11, 2001.
We know everyone has their own unique experiences of that day, and we welcome you to share those with us and the St. Louis Public Radio communities here on stlpublicradio.org, on Facebook or on Twitter.
Because we understand that everyone recognizes Sept. 11 in different ways, we have a variety of resources for you:
From NPR today: reporting on how commemoration ceremonies this year are decidedly lower-key than in years past.
