“It has been 11 years since the attacks on September 11th,
and the sadness still remains in all our hearts as though it was
yesterday. My heart goes out to the families of the 2,998 victims of the
terror attacks who died on that day, 143 of which were from the Bronx.
Today, I join together with all the families of the victims to mourn
their loss with a broken heart and offer comfort to my brothers and
sisters in this time of need.
“Regardless
of the pain that 9/11 brings to us we must also remember that on this
day we must show the world that Americans will not submit to terror, and
that we will always remember those innocent hard working people among
those building employees, first responders and others, who perished in
the attacks. On this solemn occasion, I offer my condolences to the
families of the victims of 9/11 and will always keep in my prayers the
brave and innocent lives lost,” said Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz
Jr.
The
official 9/11 memorial service of the Bronx will take place on Friday,
September 14, 2012, at Lou Gehrig Plaza (corner of Grand Concourse and
East 161st Street) at noon. The event will be followed by
refreshments in the Veterans’ Memorial Hall of the Bronx County Building
(851 Grand Concourse at East 161st Street).
