Oyster Bay To Hold 9/11 Memorial Ceremony On Sept. 8
The town will recognize those who died 21 years ago, and add the names of people who have since died of 9/11-related illnesses.
MASSAPEQUA, NY — The Town of Oyster Bay will hold its annual Sept. 11th Memorial Ceremony at TOBAY Beach on Thursday, Sept. 8 at 7 p.m.
"This year marks the 21st anniversary of the tragic events of Sept. 11, 2001, and to honor those we have lost we invite all residents to join us at our annual Sept. 11 Memorial Ceremony. This remembrance ceremony features music, religious readings, a light tribute and a reading of the names inscribed on the town's 9/11 wall," said Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino. "We will also unveil new names inscribed on the town's 'Walls of Honor,' recognizing those who gave the ultimate sacrifice due to 9/11-related illness."
The town's 9/11 Memorial — featuring a steel beam recovered from the World Trade Center — is inscribed with the names of residents lost on Sept. 11, 2001. The Walls of Honor monument expands each year with newly inscribed names of those who died from illness caused by exposure at Ground Zero.
