Westchester County will hold a two-day event to honor the memory of residents who perished in the tragic events of September 11, 2001, as well as those who have succumbed to 9/11-related illnesses. The event will feature an Interfaith Prayer Vigil on September 10, and a September 11 Memorial Service the following day.
Eight names will be added to the 9/11 First Responders Memorial dedicated to victims of 9/11-related illnesses, bringing the total to 81. Everyone honored on the Memorial lived in Westchester County, or worked in the County, or volunteered within Westchester.
Both events are open to the public, and all are encouraged to attend and participate in honoring the lives lost and those affected by 9/11.
If you are a family member of someone who died on 9/11 or of a 9/11-related illness and would like to be involved in these two memorial events, contact Communications@westchestercountyNY.gov
