Connecticut’s 9/11 Memorial is at Sherwood Island State Park, for 2 very poignant reasons.
On that awful day, residents stood at the shore and watched smoke rise from the Twin Towers.
The site was ready to be used as a staging area, for rescue equipment. Sadly, it was never used.
The memorial is inscribed with the names of all 161 state residents killed that tragic morning.
The other day, Pam Docters visited the memorial. Among the usual shells and pebbles left by family members, friends and strangers, she saw beautiful sea glass.
Nearly 25 years later, in mid-winter, we remember and honor all those we lost.
