Each of those 161 victims, who are all listed below, are honored at the State of Connecticut’s official memorial at Sherwood Island State Park in Westport.
People gathered on Sept. 11, 2001, on that same peninsula to observe the devastation of the attacks on Lower Manhattan across Long Island Sound. The site was also used in the following days and weeks as a staging area for Connecticut’s relief efforts to New York City. The state's annual memorial ceremony was held there last Thursday. (Click here to read the story at the Daily Voice.)
The park is home to a wall of names inside the main pavilion as well as a grassy, rectangular memorial near the water’s edge outdoors.
In honor of the lives lost 15 years, ago, all U.S. and state of Connecticut flags should fly at half-staff from sunrise to sunset on Sunday, Sept. 11. All state, local, municipal, corporate, and other flags should be lowered as well. The state will also illuminate the Pearl Harbor Memorial Bridge in New Haven – known as the Q Bridge – in red, white, and blue lights beginning at dusk on Sunday, Sept. 11.
