‘Never forget’: NYPD unveils expanded Memorial Wall in Battery Park
While the Memorial Wall located on Liberty Street and South End Avenue in Lower Manhattan was first established in 1997 in order to honor the men and women of the NYPD who have lost their lives over the years, the wall underwent an expansion over the summer of 2022 to ensure every member of service can be remembered. On April 26, the memorial was officially unveiled in front of family members who wore stickers depicting the faces of their loved ones.
Seventy-seven names were added to the memorial of the 1,068 which date back over a century ago. The wall is maintained by Battery Park City Authority.Families point to their loved ones.“The authority completed an expansion of the memorial to enable us to continue this enduring tribute to officers who made the ultimate sacrifice,” Battery Park City Authority CEO B.J. Jones said. “We remain grateful for all those who have served and continue to do so.
The wall was unveiled in front of family members who lovingly ran their hands along the names of the deceased. Top cop Sewell joined first Deputy Commissioner Edward Caban in slowly reading the names of those taken too soon.Photo by Dean Moses
