To remember terrorist attack victims
DERBY - In conjunction with the action of Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, Mayor Anita Dugatto is reminding all citizens of Derby that U.S. and state flags should fly at half-staff from sunrise to sunset on Friday in remembrance of the nearly 3,000 men, women, and children who lost their lives in the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
The City will also remember the 14th anniversary of that tragic day by participating in a Memorial Service on the Derby Green at 6 p.m. led by the Hotchkiss Hose Company #1 of the Derby Fire Department.
“As we remember the victims and heroes from that terrible day 14 years ago, we pause to honor the sacrifices of so many people who make our country the best in the world,” Dugatto said. “We hope to see a large turnout in honoring the 161 Connecticut residents who lost their lives that day.”
Dugatto has directed city staff members to carry out the suggestion of Gov. Malloy.
