September 11th Memorial Ceremony

County Executive Ed Day invites the public to join family members, clergy, first responders and others to mark the 23rd anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Those planning to attend the event should arrive by 8:15 AM. As part of the commemoration, family members will read the names of the Rockland County victims. There will be a tolling of the bell followed by a moment of silent prayer at 8:46 AM in remembrance of the attack on the North Tower of the World Trade Center, and again at 9:03 AM in memory of the attack on the South Tower. Five more bells will toll in remembrance of the attack on the Pentagon, the collapse of the South Tower, the crash of flight 93 into Shanksville, PA, the collapse of the North Tower, and the World Trade Center bombing in 1993.
