From Montgomery County, Md.: A veteran's reflection on the September 11 attacks is part of a larger story. The aftermath of the attacks led to a long campaign. The US initially targeted certain groups, but the effort expanded over time.

FBI data indicates a significant increase in hate crimes against a particular group following the attacks. A person who was in middle school at the time recalls a difficult experience.

Further details about the veteran's story and the impact of the attacks are available from the source, including information about a visit by President George W. Bush to a specific location.
