One NYPD union says it will not let the coronavirus stop New Yorkers from honoring those who died in the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
The Sergeants Benevolent Association announced Friday it plans to host its own “Tribute in Light” with a twin beam of light shining on Sept. 11.
The news comes a day after the 9/11 Memorial and Museum canceled the event due to COVID concerns, saying the health risks “were far too great.”
SBA President Ed Mullins slammed the mayor for his failure “to represent the people of this city with his inability to provide a viable alternative to this sacred annual event.”
“He allowed mass protests and riots in the city with no concerns whatsoever about the pandemic,” Mullins said. “The mayor won’t find a way to honor these heroes, but the SBA will pay tribute to all of the fallen victims by arranging for a Tribute in Light. A twin beam of light will shine on the evening of 9/11.”
Councilmember Joe Borelli penned a letter to President Trump, along with nine other city lawmakers, on Friday asking for him to step in.
“It is our hope that you may be able to find a creative way for a federal agency or branch of the armed forces to help save the 9/11 ‘Tribute in Light’ Tradition,” the letter reads.
“We have spoken to the New York City Central Labor Council and are quite confident that there will be a cadre of local workers honored to build this display. We may simply need assistance with the resources and equipment.”
