Lives were lost. People representing all walks of life were taken cruelly, and all too quickly, from their friends, families and neighbors. America felt the loss…New York felt the loss…and Long Island felt the loss.


The Long Island 9/11 Memorial has risen up from that darkness.  Realizing that pain and heartache needed to be quieted and soothed, Robert De Silva and Ken Dolan, retired fire fighters undertook an ambitious mission.  Leveraging a strong, personal desire to help, they reached out to all Long Islanders, searching for ways to provide relief, support and comfort. 

The apparent relevance and importance of this effort quickly attracted more volunteers, leading to the formation of the Long Island 9/11 Committee, and a commitment to search for a solution together.  Bob and Ken assumed leadership positions on this committee as president and vice president, respectively.

Mission Statement

That solution turned out to be a universal memorial for all Long Islanders who were tragically lost on September 11th

The plan for the memorial subsequently grew to
encompass a broad range of goals, including:
Forming a tribute to Honor Long Island Victims who perished on September 11, 2001.
Fashioning a place for all long islanders to feel, to think and to heal through educational programs.
Creating a dedicated museum to mark the event in
history; teaching future generations about September 11th.
Building a network to help families overcome
life’s hurdles.
Telling the Long Island story – how Long Islanders reacted by
donating time and supplies, and responding to the call to help.
To reach these goals the committee pushed forward the Long Island 9/11 Memorial
agenda and added plans for a
Resource Center
