Solemn ceremony at Fort Hamilton commemorates lives lost on Sept. 11
It was a solemn ceremony at Fort Hamilton Army Base in Bay Ridge, in remembrance of the 2,977 lives lost during the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center.
On Friday, Sept. 7, Fort Hamilton, the only active-duty military post in New York City, held a stately tribute upon the 17th anniversary of the attacks. The ceremony took place in front of the flagpole at the Army base community club.
Chief of the Business Recreation Division at U.S. Army Trevor Loew served as master of ceremonies. He welcomed officers and elected officials, including state Sen. Marty Golden, Assemblymember Peter Abbate and City Councilmember Justin Brannan, to the commemoration.
