The Town of North Hempstead will mark the 14th anniversary of the September 11 attacks with a memorial service on Friday, September 11 at 8:30 a.m. at the Mary Jane Davies Green in Manhasset, across from town hall.
The ceremony is open to the public.
“This service gives us the opportunity to remember and honor each and every one of those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001, including the 56 individuals who called North Hempstead home,” North Hempstead Town Supervisor Judi Bosworth said in a statement.
“By joining together as a community, we are able to continue to heal with those who lost loved ones on that perilous day,” she added.
In previous years, the ceremony included a prayer service and the lighting of candles in tribute to the lives lost during the attacks on the World Trade Center, Pentagon and Pennsylvania.
Said North Hemsptead Town Clerk Wayne Wink: “The ceremony serves to provide all who endured the tragedy of September 11 time to reflect upon its impact and remember those we lost that day.”
