HULL — Superintendent Michael Devine is pleased to announce that a group of Hull High School students participated in the commemoration of the 17th anniversary of 9/11 in Boston.

Fourteen Hull High School students who are members of the National Honor Society and student government were invited too take part in the ceremony, which was hosted by the Massachusetts 9/11 fund.

The group, along with faculty advisers Lindsey Ruxton and Kim Wall, participated in a wreath laying ceremony at the Public Garden, escorted family members of those who died on 9/11, handed out programs and served as ushers for the ceremony.

Last year, representatives from the Massachusetts 9/11 Fund visited HHS and presented to the entire student body about the tragic events of that day, shared stories of their family members who perished and provided insight on the resilience involved in moving on.

“It’s critically important for our students — many of whom were not yet born in 2001, or are too young to remember it themselves — to learn about the events of 9/11 and the lasting impact of that day on those who lost loved ones,” Superintendent Devine said. “I’m grateful to the Massachusetts 9/11 Fund for inviting our students to be a part of this ceremony.”

For the students who attended, the ceremony left a lasting impact on them.

“I had an amazing experience,” senior Mairenn Mulvihill said, “one I will never forget.”

Shrewsbury Fire Department Commemorates 9/11 Anniversary

SHREWSBURY — The Shrewsbury Fire Department set aside time this morning to join with members of the community in commemorating the 17th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.

Firefighters, residents and local leaders joined together to pay tribute to the thousands lost in the terrorist attacks in New York, Washington and western Pennsylvania in 2001.

The ceremony, held this morning at fire headquarters, commemorated the anniversary with a moment of silence and prayers for the victims — including the hundreds of New York City firefighters and police officers who gave their lives responding to the crisis.

“We can never let time dull the pain of that tragic day, so it’s an honor for us to remember the legacy of those we lost 17 years ago today,” Chief James Vuona said. “Additionally, as Americans, we are forever grateful to the continued effort of our military personnel protecting our freedom around the world.”

In addition to members of the Shrewsbury Police and Fire Departments, the ceremony was attended by State Rep. Hannah Kane, Selectmen Moria Miller and Beth Casavant and Town Manager Kevin Mizikar.

East Bridgewater Police and Fire Departments to Commemorate 9/11 Anniversary

EAST BRIDGEWATER — Police Chief Scott Allen and Fire Chief Timothy M. Harhen announce that the East Bridgewater Police and Fire Departments will commemorate the 17th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks next week.

WHEN:

Tuesday, Sept. 11 at 8:45 a.m.

WHERE:

East Bridgewater Police Department, 153 Central St.

WHAT:

East Bridgewater firefighters and police officers will honor all who perished on 9/11 at New York’s World Trade Center, The Pentagon and in western Pennsylvania.

The ceremony will also pay tribute to the members of the armed forces who have given their lives in the ongoing war on terror.

Residents, business owners and community leaders are invited to attend. Chief Allen and Chief Harhen will both speak briefly.

A town memorial was dedicated in 2016 to East Bridgewater native Craig Miller, a United States Secret Service Master Special Officer. Miller had an office at 7 World Trade Center next to the Twin Towers and was killed while trying to get people out of the building.

“Out in front of the police station is the memorial for Craig Miller, which is a large steel beam that was pulled from the wreckage of the World Trade Center,” Chief Allen said. “Every day, not just on September 11, the memorial serves as a reminder for us to never forget the men and women that died that day and to keep their memory alive.”

“No matter how many years go by, the importance of honoring and remembering the victims of the 9/11 attacks will never diminish,” Chief Harhen said. “We are honored to take part in this event and will take pride in remembering those firefighters and police officers and first responders who lost their lives that day.”
