Wantagh American Legion to Host Sept. 11 Remembrance Ceremony

Editor's Note: The following article was written by the Wantagh American Legion.

Once again the Wantagh American Legion, Post 1273 will be conducting a ceremony on Wednesday, Sept. 11 to commemorate this remembrance day.

As we have for the past years, we will offer our prayers and kind thoughts to all who were killed in the terrorist attack of Sept. 11, 2001. There are few among us who did not know someone who was a direct casualty of this horrific act or was not profoundly affected by the terror of that day.

Our ceremony will take place at the Wantagh American Legion Post 1273, located at 3484 Park Avenue in Wantagh, on Wednesday, commencing at 10 a.m., rain or shine.

The ceremony will include a presentation of remembrance by the Post Commander, prayer by the Post Chaplain, comments from Dais guests, reading of Wantagh victims’ names, playing of Amazing Grace, placing of Memorial Wreaths, a Rifle Salute and the Playing of Taps.

This will be a memorable event if you are able to join us for this ceremony. Please RSVP by Sept. 3 with your name, organization and if your organization will present a wreath.

As always, I would greatly appreciate that you verify and update your contact information by sending it to me at Sottnik@verizon.net.
