On the sixth anniversary of the September 11 attacks, Nassau County Executive Thomas R. Suozzi will unveil a $2 million memorial - the largest in the nation to date - that honors the 344 Nassau County residents who lost their lives. The unveiling ceremony will be held at Eisenhower Park's Harry Chapin Lakeside Theatre, across from the memorial, on Sunday, Sept. 9, at 10 a.m. All are welcome.
On March 11, 2003, President George W. Bush - along with then-Gov. George Pataki and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani - helped break ground for the memorial.

Family members read off names of the deceased from Nassau County, NY, one of which was my Uncle, below.

    I don't want the cheese, I just want to get out of the trap.
