Danbury to Hold 9/11 Remembrance

From the Mayor of Danbury: Mayor Mark Boughton will be joined by local officials, and members of the Danbury Fire and Police Departments, on Monday, September 11th, for our annual remembrance gathering.

The Greater Danbury community is invited to join Mayor Boughton at Danbury’s 9/11 Memorial on Main Street in Elmwood Park. The program will begin at 6pm.

Mayor Boughton said, “The annual 9/11 remembrance gathering allows us the opportunity to come together and reflect on the tragedy that occurred, just 16 years ago. We will always remember those lost as a result of that tragedy and honor our heroes, those who risked their lives and those who paid the ultimate sacrifice.”

The Danbury September 11 Memorial, located in the historic Elmwood Park on Main Street, is a twelve-foot tower of glass mounted on a pentagon of Connecticut granite. The front of the tower faces north and is complemented by a backdrop of beautiful plants and the Elmwood Park Christmas tree. The glass tower lines up with the lighted flagpole flying the U.S. flag previously flown over the U.S. Capitol and the 9-11 Memorial Flag. The glass tower is lit from dusk to dawn.
