Today Connecticut remembers those lost at the Twin Towers in New York City, the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., and the fields of Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
The 9/11 memorial at Sherwood Island State Park in Westport, CT was chosen because on a clear day the New York City skyline is visible, and the park served as a staging area for relief efforts to the city.
The monument reads: “The citizens of Connecticut dedicate this living memorial to the thousands of innocent lives lost on September 11, 2001, and to the families that loved them.”
