Patriot Day observance in Manchester was held on Sunday on the courthouse lawn. This is the 15th year for the event held in Manchester.
Patriot Day is an annual observance on September 11 to remember those who were injured or died during the terrorist attacks on the date in 2001.
The event held each Sept. 11 in Manchester is to honor first responders in our area. The local veterans groups put on the event so that we can pay tribute to those who serve us.
Over 200 people attended the annual event… Photo by Rob Clutter
