November 4th, 2008, and the final days leading up to it, is a time I will never forget.

After 19 months of working to help elect Barack Obama, what I remember most from that final stretch are the stories that came in from the field, from volunteers like you.

Working on the campaign headquarters blog, I saw countless inspirational stories -- from volunteers on their final weekend GOTV canvasses, folks who had driven from their home to faraway battleground states, and those who watched election returns in North Carolina, Indiana, and Virginia, and saw their states turn blue for the first time in a generation. I heard stories that poured in from across the country, each with a unique perspective on how things were going.

One year later, after Obama for America launched Organizing for America, we're still working as hard as ever on the campaign for health insurance reform, but we wanted to take this anniversary to stop and reflect on what all of us accomplished together.

Can you share a brief story about your best memory of the final days of the campaign?

We'll be featuring some of the stories on the headquarters blog to help folks reminisce and remember why we all continue to fight for change.

I know that the larger story of that day one year ago is made up of countless smaller stories. Please send in yours today.
