Share Your 9/11 Story

If you were already serving on September 11, 2001 — tell us where you were, what you felt that morning, and how it shaped the rest of your service and your life.

If you joined in the years that followed because of it — tell us where you were when it happened, how it influenced your decision to raise your right hand, and what that choice has meant since.

Selected stories will be published on our website as part of a special Veterans of California 9/11 release. Anything you submit here may be made public.
