We want to know what you think. Tell us in the comment section.

Today we remember those who died in the September 11 attacks and their families. In the past 11 years much has changed, but are we any safer?

The attacks served as the starting point for the War on Terror which sent millions of men and women into battle, drastic changes in security, economic affects, cultural and foreign policy changes. The day also marked the start of a manhunt, the arrests of several al Quaeda members, and eventual capture of Osama bin Laden.

Today, we reflect on what happened on that horrific morning and all that has happened since.
