NEW YORK – The National September 11 Memorial together with the Port Authority of New
York and New Jersey will remembered the lives of the six innocent victims killed in the February 26, 1993,
World Trade Center bombing on the 32 nd anniversary of the terrorist attack. A moment of silence will be
observed at 12:18 p.m., the time of the bomb’s detonation, which killed John DiGiovanni, Robert
Kirkpatrick, Stephen Knapp, William Macko, Wilfredo Mercado, and Monica Rodriguez Smith, who was
pregnant at the time. Each victim’s name will be read aloud by family members during the annual
ceremony attended by victims’ family, survivors, friends, 9/11 Memorial & Museum President and CEO
Elizabeth L. Hillman, and others. Following the program, attendees are invited to place roses on the
victims’ names that are etched in bronze together on Panel N-73 of the Memorial’s North Pool, not far
from One World Trade Center. The six names are alongside those of 9/11 victims
