Milford Remembers

On September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks struck the World Trade Center in New York City, the Pentagon in Washington, D. C., and United Airlines Flight 93, whose passengers, knowing attacks had already been made against America in New York and Washington and certain their hijacked plane would be used for further destruction, rose together against the terrorists and forced the plane down in a field in Somerset County, Pennsylvania, at the cost of their own lives. The dead included Milford, Connecticut, residents Seth Morris, Michael Miller, and Avnish Patel in New York City. Honor is given to the innocent victims, to the passengers of Flight 93, and to the police, fire, medical, other public safety personnel, and members of America’s military who risked and sacrificed their lives that day to save others, as well as to those service members who in subsequent months gave their lives in foreign lands in defense of American liberties and lives.
