Marking 23 Years: Town of Oyster Bay Holds 9/11 Memorial Ceremony

MASSAPEQUA, NY — In commemorating 23 years since the 9/11 attacks, The Town of Oyster Bay will host its annual ceremony.

Residents are invited to gather to remember the tragic events on Sept. 9 at Tobay Beach.

As part of the solemn ceremony, names inscribed on the Town's 9/11 wall will be read.

"We will also unveil new names inscribed on the town’s ‘Walls of Honor,’ recognizing those who made the ultimate sacrifice due to 9/11-related illness," Supervisor Joseph Saladino said.

The 9/11 Memorial includes a steel beam recovered from the World Trade Center and is inscribed with the names of residents who died on Sept. 11, 2001. The Walls of Honor monument expands each year with newly inscribed names of those who lost their battle with 9/11 illness caused by exposure at Ground Zero.

It takes place at 7 p.m. on Monday.
