Maine Remembers 9 11 Victims | Portland Maine News

Maine pauses to honor the six residents lost in the 9/11 attacks—people from Lewiston, Portland, Lubec, Gray, and Gorham, some aboard planes, others in the towers or at the Pentagon. Two hijackers even departed from Portland International Jetport, making the tragedy deeply personal. Governor Janet Mills urges half-staff flags and reflection on unity, resilience, and those still healing. Communities gather across the state for ceremonies—from Fort Allen Park in Portland to Augusta’s firefighter memorial—with Gorham’s annual 5K honoring Stephen Ward and raising scholarships. It’s more than silence—it’s a tribute to sacrifice, courage, and the enduring strength found together. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
