Surrounded by local politicians and volunteer firefighters posting the colors, Rabbi Ben Goldberg of Congregation Kneses Tifereth Israel gives the invocation during the 9/11 Remembrance Ceremony at Lyon Park recognizing the 17th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks.
Rye Brook resident Esmeralda Perez attentively stands with several other uniformed volunteer firefighters preparing to present the colors.
Hundreds of eyes are on Anastasia Marcos as she movingly sings the “Star-Spangled Banner” in front of the September 11 memorial.
As Anastasia Marcos sings the National Anthem, Cub Scout Pack 3 member and Ridge Street Elementary School second-grader Matthew Geller shows respect with a salute.
While clutching her American flag, King Street School first-grader and Daisy Girl Scout Troop 02517 member Violet Van der Wateren contemplates as speakers discuss the impact of the 9/11 tragedies.
To honor those lost, Port Chester High School junior Molly Brakewood soulfully plays Taps on her trumpet.
