Nearly 3,000 people died as a result of the events that took place on Sept. 11, 2001 and, like me, millions of Americans are spending the 11th anniversary of the attack in reflection.

In honor of the people who died on 9/11 and all those affected by the tragic events that day, Trenton-Grosse Ile Patch wants to know what you hold most dear. Submit a photo of the …

The three men heard about a walk organized by Jim Etzin of the Farmington Hills Fire …
