Golden to hold Sept. 11 tribute at 69th Street Pier
State Sen. Marty Golden, who has organized a Bay Ridge tribute to the victims of 9/11 each year since the devastating attacks took place in 2001, is planning a ceremony again this year to mark the 14th anniversary of the event.
Golden will hold a remembrance on Friday, Sept. 11, on the 69th Street Pier, starting at 7:30 p.m.
In previous years, the ceremony has featured prayers, poetry, songs, a candlelight vigil and a 21-gun salute from soldiers from the U.S. Army Garrison at Fort Hamilton.
More than three dozen Bay Ridge residents were among the thousands of people killed at the World Trade Center in the attacks, according to Golden, who first hosted a tribute on the pier in March of 2002, six months after the attacks.
