Watch: Westchester County Holds Virtual 9/11 Ceremony

VALHALLA, NY — Westchester County paid tribute to people who died during the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, as well as those who gave their lives in the aftermath. The ceremony took place at 3 p.m. Friday in front of "The Rising," the county's 9/11 Memorial.

The entire virtual ceremony can be viewed here.

County Executive George Latimer honored the residents of Westchester who died 19 years ago and those who have passed from 9/11-related illness since the attacks.

"While we face societal challenges like never before in our current day," he said, "we must never forget the events that unfolded in front of the world's eyes that morning 19 years ago."

CBS 2 New York reporter Tony Aiello emceed the event. The Rev. Troy DeCohen, senior pastor of Mount Vernon Heights Congregational Church, led the ceremony with a pre-recorded prayer.

The ceremony included the presentation of colors, led by the Westchester County Police Department’s Ceremonial Unit Color Guard, followed by Pipes and Drums of the Police Emerald Society of Westchester County. United States Rep. Nita Lowey will lead the Pledge of Allegiance followed by a rendition of the “Star-Spangled Banner” by Lindsay Towers from Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital, and Concordia College’s Brass Ensemble will play.
