Farmingdale's 9/11 Memorial Ceremony Information

FARMINGDALE, NY — The 18th anniversary of September 11 approaches. When it arrives, Americans will once again take a moment of silence each to remember every man, woman and child who was lost in the 9/11 attacks.

Dalers will have the opportunity to join together on the anniversary at the Farmingdale Remembers event on Wednesday, Sept. 11, the Farmingdale Community Summit Council and South Farmingdale Fire Department announced.

The gathering starts at 6 p.m. at the Farmingdale Public Library's 9/11 Memorial, and the ceremony will begin at 6:30 p.m. sharp.

"As the 18th anniversary of September 11 approaches, our thoughts are once again with all those
who lost loved ones on that tragic morning," the summit council stated via press release. "We remember the names, faces, and lives of the men, women, and children who were killed, and look for ways to ensure that each and every one of them is not forgotten."

If bad weather occurs, the ceremony will instead be held in the library's rotunda. Following the event will be a reception at the South Farmingdale Fire Department, located at 819 Main St., at 7:30 p.m.

"The Farmingdale Community Summit Council and the South Farmingdale Fire Department urge
all residents of the community to participate in the brief ceremony and reception to honor and
remember those who perished, to pay tribute to those who served so unselfishly in the recovery
operation, and to show our continued support for all those who were affected by the events of
9/11/01," the release states.
