Legislator John Kennedy speaking at groundbreaking ceremonyNesconset - Sunday April 3, 2011 was the site of a fundraising event and the groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of the 911 Responders Remembered Park. The 911 Responders Remembered Park is being created as a tribute to the memories of the men and women who were the first responders at the devastation of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2011. The memorial park is recognition for those who sacrificed their health and too often their lives as a result of illnesses they contracted as first responders on 911.
Over 500 people were in attendance at the groundbreaking ceremony, some to volunteer, some to raise funds, and some came to show support. Also present were families and children of some of the heroes.
