This is shared from the Derby Fire Department Facebook page:
"As you are aware the City of Derby was able to secure from the Port Authority a small piece of steel from the World Trade Center. The steel was placed atop a monument located on the Derby Green (Elizabeth Street side).
"Each year members of the Valley Emergency Services host a remembrance service to those who died during the attacks.
"In honor of the 20th anniversary, we will be hosting our annual remembrance service at the Derby Green starting at 1600 hrs on the 11th [4 p.m Saturday].
"In addition to the remembrance service, we will also be posting an honor guard at the memorial starting at 0846hrs. The honor guard will be posted for 413 minutes, this is 1 minute to honor each of the 413 Firefighters, Police Officers, and EMS members killed on 9/11."
