Reflections: My Life, My Country Seven Years after 9/11, aims to capture the thoughts and feelings of people across America about how their lives have been affected, directly or indirectly, by the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. There is a strong sense that something changed not just on that day but in the weeks, months and years since the attacks. Many of us also find ourselves unable to quantify what that change has been. This feeling has inspired Citizens for Global Solutions to try and capture that feeling in a collective way. It is our hope that these essays, taken together, will give us all a better idea of exactly what this change has been, and what it means to Americans across the country.
