Wellington to Host 9/11 Remembrance Ceremony at Patriot Memorial
The community is invited to join Wellington’s Council at 6:00 p.m. on Friday, September 11, 2015 to honor the victims of 9/11 at a remembrance ceremony at the Patriot Memorial located next to Village Hall at 12198 Forest Hill Boulevard. The Village Council will make remarks and lay a wreath for those lost and affected by the attacks. Guest speakers will include John Napolitano, a Wellington resident who lost his FDNY member son, Lt. John P. Napolitano, Fire Rescue 2, in the tragedy, and Denise Makarius, a Wellington resident who lost her husband from the effects of the tragedy.
Wellington dedicated its Patriot Memorial four years ago on the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. The memorial includes one of the largest steel beams salvaged from the World Trade Center, as well as an eternal flame fountain and etched glass panels inscribed with the names of the victims.
