GLEN COVE, NY — Saturday marks 20 years since the deadliest terror attack on American soil. On Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist-hijacked passenger planes slammed into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and a field near rural Shanksville, Pennsylvania. The era-defining tragedies took the lives of 2,977 people, including more than 400 first responders. Two decades later — even in the midst of a global pandemic — Americans will come together to honor those whose lives were snuffed out by terrorism. Among those killed were four Glen Cove residents: Edward J. Lehman, 41Matthew T. McDermott, 34John F. Puckett, 47Joseph J. Zuccala, 54 The City of Glen Cove will be holding a 9/11 remembrance ceremony at noon on Saturday. Located at Morgan Memorial Park, the ceremony will feature a Color Guard presentation, a prayer service, a poster exhibition, and musical performances.
