Governor Lamont and Lt. Governor Bysiewicz host Connecticut's 9/11 Memorial Ceremony Tomorrow at Sherwood Island in Westport

Tomorrow evening, Thursday, September 8, Governor Ned Lamont and Lt. Governor Susan Bysiewicz will host the State of Connecticut’s annual 9/11 Memorial Ceremony at Sherwood Island State Park in Westport at 5:30 pm.

Every year, the state purposefully holds its ceremony on a day prior to the actual anniversary in order to accommodate the family members and friends of the victims. Because Connecticut is in such close proximity to New York City, many people who lost loved ones in the attacks and live in the state also attend the annual ceremony that is held at the site of the World Trade Center on the morning of September 11.
