On Saturday May 18, 2013, 35 new names were added to the Responders Remembered Memorial Park Wall in ;)
Nesconset, New York. These 35 men and women were honored by the 9/11 ;)
Responders Remembered Memorial Group for their heroism and for making the ultimate sacrifice as a direct result of their work at the World Trade Center following 9/11.
The 9/11 Responders Remembered Memorial Park, located at the northeast corner of Smithtown Boulevard and Gibbs Pond Road in Nesconset, New York opened two years ago after much planning by the 9/11 Responders Remembered Committee, including Legislator John M. Kennedy, Jr., Minority Leader of the Suffolk County Legislature (13th LD-Nesconset), who was also in attendance this past Saturday morning.

In addition to the newly engraved names, a time capsule filled with various mementos, documents and other historical evidence regarding 9/11, its victims, heroes, and information surrounding the erection of the Memorial Park was buried and not to be opened until September 10, 2038. One such document was the Suffolk County Resolution, sponsored by Legislator John M. Kennedy, that allowed the building of the 9/11 Responders Remembered Memorial Park. “It has been and continues to be an honor and privilege to be a part of such an important site in the community. Not only does it pay tribute to those we lost but it will be a reminder to our children and future generations to never forget,” said Legislator Kennedy.
