Statement by State Chairman Gerard Kassar on
Cancelling the Tribute of Lights on September 11.
Brooklyn, NY -- Today we learned that the 9/11 Memorial and Museum will not display the Tribute of Lights on the 19th Remembrance of America's darkest day.
The two bright blue beams remind New Yorkers and the world that there is always hope that the future will bring peace through strength and vigilance.
Certainly the health of the individuals responsible for the display is important, however, in a city where millions of people have returned to work safely, adequate preparation could have and still can be made to protect the workers while respecting the 9/11 Memorial and Museum's mission to commemorate the unbreakable spirit of New York and our strong belief that we shall never forget.
