Westchester County To Host Interfaith Prayer Vigil and 9/11 Memorial Service
Westchester County will host two commemorative events to honor the memory of those who perished in the tragic events of September 11, 2001, and those who later died from 9/11-related illnesses. The events will feature an Interfaith Prayer Vigil on September 10, and a September 11th Memorial Service on September 11.
Westchester County Executive Ken Jenkins said: “Nearly a quarter-century later, the pain of September 11 remains deeply felt in Westchester. We gather each year to ensure the names, stories and sacrifices of our residents are never forgotten. This vigil and memorial service are moments for reflection and support for the families whose lives were forever changed.”
