"From the most simplistic memorial we can truly believe the 178 innocent lives lost from our county on September 11th is not just etched in glass here today, but etched in our hearts and our souls as we continue to move forward," said County Executive Steve Levy. A firefighter, an administrative assistant, a nurse and a government bond broker whose paths may have never crossed now share an eternal connection as their four glass panels sit side by side embracing the Gardens of Remembrance - Suffolk County's first 9/11 memorial.Ī crowd of more than 400 friends, family, elected officials, media and 9/11 Memorial Commission members gathered under and around three tents on the front lawn of the Armed Forces Plaza in Hauppauge Thursday afternoon to dedicate the new memorial and to pay tribute to those lives lost eight years ago.
