Southold community never forgets 9/11

The Southold Town Fire Chief’s Council held its annual 9/11 memorial service at Jean Cochran Park in Peconic. Area fire departments and police officers from across the North Fork, as well as the New York City Fire Department, participated in the solemn event. The service began at 6 p.m. 

Prior to the service, the Southold 9/11 Memorial Committee and members of the community placed flags throughout the park to memorialize the 2,977 victims who lost their lives in the attack in 2001.
