Nassau County Executive Laura Curran will host Nassau County’s 20th Anniversary of 9/11 Remembrance and Recitation of Names Ceremony today – Thursday, September 9th 2021 at 4:45PM. Nassau’s remembrance ceremony will include surviving family members reading the names of residents who lost their lives in the attacks, as well the unveiling of a new 9/11 Responders Memorial. The 6,500-pound, red granite monument pays tribute to the first responders who lost their lives to illness years after joining the rescue and recovery operation at ground zero in the wake of the attack on September 11, 2001. This new monument is being added to the park’s existing 9/11 Memorial which honors the 348 Nassau residents who lost their lives on 9/11 - one of the largest completed memorials to the victims of the 9/11 attacks in the nation.

The Nassau County Police Department Color Guard, Pipe and Drum Band will be on hand for the ceremony, which will take place rain or shine. A live stream will be available at Facebook.com/NCExecutive.
