#Here’s where 9/11 memorials will be held in NYC – and across the country

Commemorations in New York City for the the 9/11 terror attacks will be like no other this year.

For the past 18 years, thousands have gathered at Ground Zero to mark the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks and honor the nearly 3,000 who were killed.

But this year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, only family members will be allowed to gather at the 9/11 Memorial plaza and there will not be an in-person reading of the victims’ names.

Instead, the reading of the names of the 2,983 men, women and children killed in the attacks at the World Trade Center site, the Pentagon, aboard Flight 93, and those who died in the February 26, 1993 WTC bombing, have been pre-recorded by family members and will be broadcast throughout the plaza and live-streamed online.

“In accordance with city and state guidelines, those in attendance will be required to wear face coverings and practice social distancing on the eight-acre Memorial plaza,” the 9/11 Memorial and Museum said. “Family members will be able to stand at their loved one’s name on the Memorial while hearing their name read aloud.”

As in years past, six moments of silence will be observed — twice to mark the times that each hijacked plane struck the North Tower and South Tower (8:46 a.m. and 9:03 a.m.), twice to mark the times when each tower fell (9:59 a.m. and 10:28 a.m.), and to mark the moments of the attack on the Pentagon (9:37 a.m.) and the crash of the hijacked United Airlines Flight 93 near Shanksville, Pa. (10:03 a.m.).

Mayor Bill de Blasio, according to city sources, plans to attend the ceremony at Ground Zero.

Vice President Mike Pence and his wife, Karen, are scheduled to visit Ground Zero and participate in the memorial there before heading over to another nearby 9/11 commemoration ceremony organized by the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation.

The foundation’s memorial ceremony will take place at 8:30 a.m. at Church Street and Liberty Street near Zuccotti Park.

The non-profit – created in honor of fallen 9/11 FDNY firefighter Stephen Siller — made the unprecedented move to host an independent memorial in response to the 9/11 Memorial and Museum scrapping the traditional reading of the victims’ names due to COVID-19 concerns.

“Following rigorous safety protocols,” the foundation will allow the annual tradition of family members reading the names of the victims killed in the 9/11 attacks, it said.

The Pences are expected to take part in the ceremony with about 126 people who lost loved ones on 9/11.

Meanwhile, President Trump plans to attend a 9:45 a.m. ceremony at the Flight 93 National Memorial in Pennsylvania near Shanksville.

US Defense Secretary Mark Esper and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Mark Milley will conduct a live virtual observance ceremony Friday at 7:30 a.m. at the National 9/11 Pentagon Memorial.

Victims’ families will not be present at the Pentagon ceremony, but they will be visiting the memorial in small groups throughout the day.

Last month in a memo, FDNY Commissioner Daniel Nigro urged first responders to skip 9/11 anniversary events this year due to COVID-19 — outraging firefighters hoping to honor the 343 members killed in the WTC attack.

“From a health and safety perspective, the FDNY strongly recommends that our members forego participating in 9/11 gatherings and events this year,” Nigro said in the message.

However, according to another FDNY memo dated Wednesday obtained by The Post, the department will host or participate in commemorative ceremonies Friday including the one at Ground Zero.

In addition to remembrances at local firehouses, members of Battalion 18 will host the annual ceremony at the Firemen’s Memorial on the Upper West Side at 8:30 a.m. Friday followed by a mass at Manhattan’s Cathedral of St. John the Divine at 12:15 p.m., the memo said.

The EMS Academy will host its annual 9/11 memorial service at Fort Totten in Queens at 8:30 a.m., according to the memo.

Other events around the Big Apple include a remembrance ceremony held by the US Coast Guard at 7:45 a.m. at the Fort Wadsworth Overlook on Staten Island.

State Sen. Andrew Gounardes (D-Brooklyn) and Councilman Justin Brannan (D-Brooklyn) will hold an annual vigil at 7:30 p.m. at the American Veterans Memorial Pier in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn.

The 9/11 Memorial and Museum will also go ahead with its annual “Tribute in Light” after it flip-flopped on plans to cancel the commemorative beams of light tribute to the twin towers over coronavirus concerns.

The lights will be on beginning at sunset on Friday and will fade away at dawn on Saturday, the museum said.
