Mineola took the evening of Sept. 11 to honor those killed in the terrorist attacks 24 years ago, with officials highlighting the heroism of three court officers who died saving others and the importance of how the country came together the following day.
Mineola Fire Department Chief Robert Connolly gave the ceremony’s keynote speech, which centered on three New York court officers, Thomas Jurgens, William Harry Thompson and Mitchell Wallace, who ran into the burning World Trade Center to save others in 2001.
