September 11th Remembrance Ceremony

Mayor Blake Invites Community to September 11th Remembrance Ceremony

The City of Milford will remember the events of September 11, 2001 on Saturday, September 11, 2021, with a ceremony of song and prayer at the September 11th Monument on the grounds of Milford City Hall.  Chief Doug Edo will mark the 20th anniversary of this tragic day by sounding the Fire Department’s Memorial Bell at 8:46am.

Milford remembers residents Michael Miller, Avnish Patel, and Seth Morris, who perished in the attacks 20 years ago. 

Mayor Ben Blake invites everyone to attend the ceremony and asks everyone to pause for a moment of remembrance in honor of those who died as well as to honor the courage of those who participated in rescue efforts on that tragic day.

Residents unable to attend the ceremony may wish to visit memorial sites around town including the Memorial Garden at Live Oaks Elementary, Flight 93 Heroes Park along the Housatonic River, the memorial benches situated in the pocket park between Elis Restaurant and Café Atlantique on Daniel Street, and the monument at Fire Station 7 on Wheelers Farm Road that displays a portion of the actual steel structure from the World Trade Center.
