9/11 Never Forget

September 10, 2025


 

Thursday marks 24 years since nearly 3,000 lives were lost on September 11, 2001. Thousands have died since due to exposure to toxic chemicals, and countless lives have been forever changed.  May we never forget those who perished through this act of terror, and the courage of the first responders, construction crews, service members, and everyday citizens who ran toward danger to save others, and who worked tirelessly in the days and years that followed to help our country rebuild.

Though we move further away from that fateful day each year, we must continue to honor those Americans we lost and never stop the fight against terror and for peace.


There will be an observance in West Haven on Thursday, September 11 with a flag-raising ceremony at 6:30 P.M. at the Bradley Point Park flagpole, followed by a candlelight vigil at 7:00 P.M., at the Richard S. Gabrielle September 11 Memorial on the boardwalk next to the former Savin Rock Conference Center (6 Rock Street).
