Towers of Light from the Octagon

Of the many 9-11 Memorial Lights photos shot from Roosevelt Island I thought this one was most interesting from Zacklur shot from his apartment up at the Octagon. It can be found HERE on Flickr.

Roosevelt Island's 9-11 Memorial Service

Each year Roosevelt Island holds its own 9-11 memorial service behind the Chapel of the Good Shepherd. This year the service, sponsored by RIRA, begins at 7:30 pm. Please bring your own candle. As noted in the picture below the memorial placque memorializes both residents and members of the FDNY Special Operations Command that were stationed here on Roosevelt Island.
