“Our Park and those on our wall are a reminder to us all of how great we can be as a Nation when united. Never before did anyone witness such Humanity and Empathy after that horrific Tuesday Morning. Our Park not only continues to serve the 9/11 community, but preserves its legacy for future generations, assuring history is never distorted” – John Feal, the Feal Good Foundation & Martin Aponte, 9/11 Responders Remembered Park
Martin Luther King Jr once said, Every step toward the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering, and struggle; the tireless exertions and passionate concern of dedicated individuals. The 9/11 responders community have faced countless battles, both at home and in Washington D.C. Through illness and loss, they have stayed the course and are single-handedly responsible for indefinitely securing the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act. We owe every man, woman and canine who searched through iron and steal a great debt… one that can never truly be paid. But we can honor them, by standing side by side, united as a community this Saturday.
The reading of 98 new names, flag dedication, statue and plaque ceremony is scheduled to begin promptly at 10 AM. The 9/11 Responders Remembered Park is located at the corner of Gibbs Pond Road and Smithtown Blvd in Nesconset, NY
