Farmingville, NY – On Sunday, September 11, Supervisor Mark Lesko and Councilwoman Jane Bonner were guest speakers at the Sound Beach Fire Department’s 9-11 Memorial ceremony held at the Sound Beach fire house. Residents from the Sound Beach community joined local elected officials to honor those who lost their lives during the terrorist attacks 10 years ago on September 11, 2001 and dedicate the memorial, which consisted of a piece of steel girder from the World Trade Center.

“The first responders who answered the call and gave their lives on 9-11 will forever be remembered here at this beautiful memorial,” said Supervisor Lesko. “I applaud the Sound Beach Fire Department for remembering the loved ones who perished on that fateful day. We will never forget their sacrifice and we must be diligent in our efforts to share with their heroic stories with the next generation of Americans.”

“The Sound Beach Fire Department has created a beautiful memorial in fitting tribute to all those who lost their lives on that fateful day 10 years ago,” said Councilwoman Jane Bonner. “This memorial will forever be a sacred place where we can gather to remember the victims and reflect on the day when our entire country mourned an unthinkable tragedy that changed our world.”
