All are cordially invited to celebrate "The Dedication Of The Tribute Wall" at Keyspan Park, 1904 Surf Ave., Coney Island, Sunday, 2 p.m.
The Brooklyn Wall of Remembrance will be rededicated with the names and portraits of all the heroic first responders from Manhattan, the Bronx, Queens and Staten Island on 9/11, joining the men and women of Brooklyn whose portraits already are there.
All 416 names of the first responders who died that day will be read, by 42 different people, each reading 10 names (the last person will read only six). Ken Dashow of Classic Rock Q104.3FM is the master of ceremonies and readers will include donators/actors Jon Voight and Gary Sinise, departments chiefs, family members and others who helped build the wall. Sinise hosted a benefit concert last summer at Brooklyn College that raised $250,000, which helped expand the wall.
FDNY, NYPD, Port Authority and NYS Court Officers Bagpipers will entertain. Former NYPDer Daniel Rodriguez will sing the national anthem and FDNY warbler Regina Wilson will perform "God Bless America." Sol Moglen, the founder of the wall, will finish up as last speaker.
Mighty missed with the Penguins last night.
Today it's the Cavaliers. The surplus is 105 sirignanos.
