May 30, 2002 Commemoration

Each year on May 30, the 9/11 Memorial & Museum honors the courage and sacrifice of all 9/11 rescue, recovery, and relief workers, as well as survivors and members of the downtown community, by marking the anniversary of the formal end of recovery operations at Ground Zero with a commemorative ceremony. While we will not be able to join together in person in observance of the 18th anniversary, please join us on Saturday, May 30, at 11 a.m. ET for this special digital commemoration ceremony.
