Town of Hempstead remembers
by Robert L. Harrison

in a touching memorial to those who were
lost on September 11, 2001. For the second time since 2002 it rained heavily over
the Lido Beach site Friday morning.
But this did not stop the overflowing residents from taking part in one of the most touching traditions that the town offers. The Lido Beach site, under a huge tent featured beautiful chrome replicas of the Twin Towers standing over a blue lagoon pool that later would be filled
with long stemmed white carnations in memory of those who were lost. Surrounding the pool was an area of sand, that would be filled with miniature American flags, some with tagged personal notes to those who were remembered this 9-11 morning.
