Commack 9/11 Ceremony to Honor Victims Next Week

The Commack Community will come together next Wednesday for the 12th year of remembrance of 9/11.

A candlelight ceremony will be held at the Heroes Memorial Track at the Commack High School football field at 6:30 p.m. 

The district will also recognize First Responders for their continued commitment in serving their communities.

Congressman Steve Israel and Sen. John Flanagan will be the honorary guest speakers.

The Commack School District completes its 9/11 Memorial last year, which was unveiled during the 2012 ceremony. The district received a piece of steel from the fallen World Trade Center. Commack one of a few districts to actually receive a piece of World Trade Center steel. More often pieces have gone to township or counties for memorials. The memorial features the names of Commack residents and district alumni who perished in the attacks.
