Community
The entire world has joined together, both online and offline, in its grief and response to the attacks to the U.S. September 11, 2001. Below are discussion lists and community sites that reflect some of how we're coming together in response to the 9/11 attacks to the World Trade Center (WTC), the Pentagon, Flight 93, and related terrorist attacks.
While I'm not adding to or further developing this section, if you find any dead or redirected links, please contact me with the relevant information, and I'll update or remove those items. Thank you!
The World Community
Sites all over the world are coming together in a Moment of Silence [1], community, tributes, and to share information, express concern and offer love, support, prayers, and community.
We can show the world how we are all interconnected, that we’re one world, one community. We will become stronger, not weaker. We will not retreat but will gather together. Terrorism will not defeat us. Instead we will gain renewed energy.
If you have a site paying tribute in some way, here are some sites where you can have yours listed.

Others Coming Together off the Web
Communities all over the world are helping out in many ways. Volunteers are selflessly giving of their time and effort. And prayer communities are gathering as well.
"If we are to know a better and more secure world, then through our thoughts and actions we must counteract the negativity that seeks to undermine it."
