Lindenhurst Hosts 20th Annual 9/11 Candlelight Memorial Service

LINDENHURST, NY - Residents gathered at the Lindenhurst Remembers 9/11 Memorial Garden on Saturday evening in remembrance of the victims of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

The annual candlelight service honored the eight Lindenhurst residents who lost or gave their lives 20 years ago, as well as first responders who have since passed from Ground Zero-related illnesses and the 13 U.S. soldiers who died in the terrorist attack at the Kabul Airport in Afghanistan last month.

The memorial service included respectful moments of silence, music, and heartfelt words from elected officials.
