On Sept. 11, an in-person ceremony will honor those lost 20 years ago as well as the First Responders who perished subsequently due to their work at Ground Zero
Borough President James Oddo announced this year that he will once again host an in-person event for the annual Staten Island 9/11 Memorial Ceremony. For the 20th anniversary, with restrictions being relaxed, the ceremony will be able to take place at the Postcards Memorial site while following social distancing guidelines. The borough president’s office will also be live streaming the event for those who are unable to come or do not feel comfortable attending an in-person ceremony.
This annual observance will feature the recitation of the names of the Staten Islanders who were lost on 9/11, as well as a reading of the names of the First Responders who have perished since that day due to their work at Ground Zero. Special musical selections and a video tribute will honor those we lost.
For those attending the ceremony, our friends at Lyft are proud to sponsor free transportation for those who wish to attend in-person this year.
