WATCH: Town Of Hempstead To Hold Annual 9/11 Memorial Sunday Morning
It's held at Point Lookout, a "sacred spot" for many since 9/11, Supervisor Don Clavin said.
POINT LOOKOUT, NY — Hundreds of people are expected to gather on Sunday morning for the annual 9-11 Sunrise Memorial at Point Lookout.
It became a gathering point as the Twin Towers were up in smoke and then collapsed.
"What's taken place is, it's almost a sacred spot for them," Town of Hempstead Supervisor Don Clavin said on "Patch AM" Friday. "We've been having the ceremony on the beach for 20 years now."
