Twenty-three years have passed since September 11, 2001, and once again, the Village of Cedarhurst hosted its annual memorial ceremony at the 9/11 Memorial in Andrew J. Parise Park. The Village commemorated the events of that day with a moving ceremony that reminded the gathered elected official, first responders, family member and friends about the tragic terrorist attacks that shook our nation, and honored and paid tribute to the heroes and loved ones we lost.
The ceremony was graced by religious leaders and elected officials who offered words of inspiration, healing, and prayer, reflecting on the sacrifice and legacy of those we remember.
With each toll of the bell, the Village paid heartfelt respect to those who perished in the collapsed towers: Kevin O’Rourke, Joseph Rivelli Jr., Thomas Jurgens, Neil D. Levin, Bettina Browne Radburn, Ira Zaslow, and Howard Selwyn. Their names are forever etched in our hearts as a testament to the enduring legacy we honor within our community.
