The annual 9/11 Tribute Ceremony will be held on Monday, September 11th at 5:00pm at the Memorial Site, adjacent to the Max 410 at The Waters Edge Restaurant (former Waters Edge Lighthouse), 2 Freemans Bridge Road, Glenville, NY. The event is open to the public and everyone is encouraged to attend.
The event will include remarks from local elected officials and dignitaries, as well as, patriotic renditions from area performers. Community participants will include members of Schenectady, Glenville, Niskayuna and Scotia – Police and Fire Departments, as well as military personnel from the 109th Air Lift Wing. In addition, a member of the “Capital Memorial Stair Climb” from the Albany Fire Department will be on hand to explain their tribute fundraising event that is organized by local firefighters to honor their fallen comrades from 9/11.
The Memorial itself was constructed in 2007 with two steel beams that were recovered from the World Trade Center. Tribute ceremonies have taken place annually since that time. The site was developed by Schenectady businessmen, Pat Popolizio and John Wells, who have made a commitment to ensure that the victims of 9/11 will always be remembered. The restaurant on the property is now operated by local restaurateur, Mike Fortin, who did not hesitate to carry on the tradition of hosting the ceremony at this waterfront location.
