History

One year after the September 11, 2001, attacks, the Spirit of Springfield was asked to lend the organization’s expertise to honor the first responders who lost their lives. The first ceremony held at the Raymond Sullivan Public Safety Complex followed the time line of the tragedies and of the names reading of police officers, firefighters and members of the military who died.

In 2019, the event was moved to Riverfront Park where Springfield’s September 11th Monument was dedicated earlier that year.
