Boston, 13th Sept: Members of the Indian-American community, along with the Federation of Indian Associations (FIA)–New England, held a solemn 9/11 remembrance ceremony at 43 Milk Street in Westborough, Massachusetts, on Wednesday to honor the nearly 3,000 victims, including at least 41 of Indian origin, who died in the 2001 terror attacks.
A metal relic from the original World Trade Center was installed as the centerpiece of the event, symbolizing resilience and remembrance. Community members laid flowers and observed a moment of silence around the artifact, offering prayers for those who lost their lives and for the courageous first responders.
“This metal piece is more than steel — it’s a reminder of the lives lost, the courage shown, and the unity that followed,” an organizer said.
The gathering brought together families, local residents, and community leaders who reflected on the bravery of firefighters, police officers, emergency workers, and ordinary citizens who acted heroically in the face of terror. Several attendees shared personal reflections and stressed the need to teach younger generations about the tragedy and the enduring power of unity.
Organizers described the ceremony as both a memorial and a call for peace, underscoring the Indian-American community’s commitment to remember the victims and honor the heroes of September 11, 2001.
