Mayor Smith Invites Milford Community to September 11th Remembrance Ceremony

MILFORD, CT, September 2, 2026 – The City of Milford will commemorate the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks on Friday, September 11, 2026, with a ceremony of song and prayer at the World Trade Center Memorial Garden at Live Oaks Elementary School, 575 Merwin Avenue. The event will begin at approximately 8:30 am.

The ceremony will include the ringing of the bells by Milford Fire Chief Christopher Waiksnoris at 8:46 a.m., marking the time the first plane struck the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.

As Milford remembers that tragic day, the community will honor local 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 Smith invites all residents to attend the ceremony and asks the community to take a moment of pause and remembrance in honor of those who lost their lives, as well as the first responders, rescue workers, and others who participated in the rescue efforts on that tragic day.



For those unable to attend the ceremony, the City has several memorial sites where residents may visit to reflect and remember, including:



The World Trade Center Memorial Garden at Live Oaks Elementary School, 575 Merwin Avenue, honoring Michael Miller and Avnish Patel.
The World Trade Center steel beam monument, located at Milford Fire Station 7 (Northside), 55 Wheelers Farms Road.
The memorial benches dedicated to Michael Miller, located in the pocket park in Downtown Milford between Daniel and River Streets, near Café Atlantique.
The City of Milford September 11 Monument, located on the historic City Hall grounds at 110 River Street.


The City of Milford encourages residents to come together on September 11 to remember those who were lost and to honor the courage, sacrifice, and service of all those who responded in the aftermath of the attacks.
