"I can only hope that this 1st anniversary will be a start to the healing for the people who lost family and friends." HML, Waterbury
"I dislike how we hype certain news events. It should be a day of private reflection... Let's be peaceful, kinder, more thoughtful people, all the time, not just on 9/11, and maybe we can be a better human race." WW, Huntington
"I thought about all the other people who have died in wars, famines and other needless and violent events." DFL, Barkhamsted
"I don't believe in this mourning and re-mourning of the dead. I cried the day it happened and then went on with my life." GL, Guilford
"I climbed to the top of Mount Lincoln in New Hampshire and flew an American flag in remembrance. It was part of a loosely organized attempt to erect flags atop each of the 40 peaks above 4,000 feet in the White Mountains. It was just one small thing I could do." KG, Hartford
"I cried." Gloria, North Haven
"I wore red, white and blue clothing to work." SB, West Hartford
"I was on vacation the week of 9/11. As part of my trip, I visited the Flight 93 Memorial in Shanksville, PA." JH, Montville
"I celebrated my birthday and my parents' anniversary." FH, Waterbury
"My son and I own a restaurant. We made an American Flag cake and handed out red, white and blue ribbons for the week. My wife attended the vigil and ceremonies on our town green at night. We also continue to give silent prayers to the victims and their families." TK, Southington
