The City of Milford will remember the events of Sept. 11, 2001 on Saturday with a ceremony of song and prayer at the Sept. 11 monument on the grounds of Milford City Hall.
Fire Chief Doug Edo will mark the 20th anniversary of the day by sounding the fire department’s memorial bell at 8:46 a.m., the time that the hijackers crashed Flight 11 into the North Tower.
Milford residents Michael Miller, Avnish Patel and Seth Morris perished in the attacks.
Mayor Ben Blake is inviting 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 day.
Residents unable to attend the ceremony can 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.
