The September 11th Memorial Garden Oversight Committee, together with Town of Sudbury officials, invites the entire community to attend a brief ceremony on Monday, September 11, 2006, to observe the five-year anniversary of the tragic terrorist attacks that took the lives of three Town residents — Geoffrey Cloud, Cora Hidalgo Holland, and Peter Morgan Goodrich. The commemoration will begin at 8:40 a.m. at the September 11th Memorial Garden in Heritage Park. The proceedings will start with a Color Guard of Police and Fire officers presenting the colors and raising the flag, followed by the singing of the National Anthem. At 8:46 a.m., the time the first hijacked plane hit the World Trade Center five years earlier, the bells at First Parish of Sudbury and Our Lady of Fatima will toll while family members and friends of those lost will lay flowers at the Memorial in honor of their loved ones. William J. Keller, Jr., Chairman of the Board of Selectmen, will speak briefly, and attendees will be invited to walk through the Garden at the conclusion of the remarks, at approximately 8:50 a.m.
The September 11th Memorial Garden is located in Heritage Park, at the intersection of Concord Road and Route 27, across from the Sudbury Town Hall.
