[Editor's Note: This photo gallery was compiled just before the 10th anniversary of 9/11. The article and captions have been slightly modified.]

As the 11th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks approaches, Patch turns to residents in Fairfield County—among the most directly affected towns by that tragic day—for thoughts on what they remember and how the attacks have changed them. If you a photo related to 9/11 in any way, please consider contributing to this photo gallery to share with our neighbors.
