The City of Milford will remember the events of September 11, 2001 on Wednesday, September 11, 2019 with a ringing of the bells by Fire Chief Doug Edo at 8:46 A.M. at the Live Oaks School 9/11 Memorial Garden located at 575 Merwin Avenue, Milford, CT.
In Milford, we remember victims Michael Miller and Avnish Patel, both graduates of Live Oaks School, as well as Seth Morris, who was a student at Mathewson School.
Mayor Ben Blake invites all residents to attend the ceremony and asks everyone to take a moment of pause and remembrance in honor of those who died, and those who participated in rescue efforts on that tragic day.
If you are unable to attend the event the city has five September 11th memorial sites you can visit. One next to City Hall on River Street consists of a beautiful granite memorial noting the three attack site: the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and the field in Pennsylvania, Milford’s Fire Station No. 7, 55 Wheelers Farm Road, where a hallowed chunk of steel from the World Trade Center rests, a section along the Housatonic holds a "Flight 93 Heroes Park'' in honor of the passengers on the plane in Pennsylvania and a memorial bench sits in a small public park in Downtown Milford on River Street nestled in between shops and restaurants.
