Two local events to mark anniversary of 9/11 attacks Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and the Town Board invite residents to join them at the Town’s Annual September 11th Memorial Ceremony scheduled for Monday, September 8, 7p.m. at TOBAY Beach. “This year marks the 24th anniversary of the tragic events of September 11th, 2001, and to honor those we have lost we invite all residents to join us at our annual September 11th 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 Saladino. “We will also unveil new names inscribed on both the Town’s September 11th Memorial and the ‘Walls of Honor,’ recognizing those who made 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 September 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. For more information, visit the Town’s website at www.oysterbaytown.com or contact the town’s Department of Community & Youth Services at (516) 797-7925.
