Town of Brookhaven Supervisor Dan Panico led a memorial service to honor the nearly 3,000 people who perished as a result of the 2001 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in New York City; the Pentagon in Washington, DC; and at Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
The ceremony, which was held at the 9/11 Memorial Garden at Brookhaven Town Hall, included the ringing of the fire bell by Chief Fire Marshal Chris Mehrman in memory of the first responders who heroically gave their own lives in the line of duty.
