Elmont and Franklin Square 9/11 victims remembered
Sixteen years have passed since that dark and tragic day in American history. The observance of Sept. 11 continues to be a time of remembrance, healing, solace and hope for the future.
The Herald hopes that these photos of victims killed in the terrorist attack who had some connection to Franklin Square and Elmont - some were born there, grew up there, lived there as an adult or served in its fire department - will serve to keep their memories alive to a community that still grieves for them.
