State, Local Officials Visit 9/11 Exhibit in White Plains
Lt. Governor Bob Duffy was among the elected officials at the White Plains Public Library Thursday to visit the “New York Remembers” exhibit on display this month. The exhibit features artifacts, photographs and information that tell the story of the September 11, 2001 attacks and the events leading up to them.
“What we have to do is make sure that young kids growing up today who perhaps were not born or were too young to remember that day 10 years ago remember this,” Duffy told a crowd that included family members of Simon Dedvukaj of Mohegan Lake and Marisa Di Nardo Schorpp of White Plains, two of the more than 100 Westchester residents killed in the attacks. “We take time to reinforce the history, the sacrifice, the courage, the valor, the loss that happened on that day.”
The exhibit will be on display for the rest of the month during library hours and will also be open on September 11.
Other elected officials on hand included White Plains Mayor Tom Roach, State Senator Andrea Stewart-Cousins and Assembly members Bob Castelli, Sandy Galef, Mike Spano and Steve Katz.
