Th event also featured guest speaker, Valerie Gambino, sister of Thomas Gambino, Jr., an FDNY firefighter who perished at the World Trade Center. We listened intently as Mr. Drew gave dramatic readings about the history of the National Anthem and "My Name is Old Glory", a patriotic poem about the United States flag. The crowd watched on as members of the Honor Guard folded a U.S. flag and presented it to Ms. Gambino in honor of her brother. It was a beautiful and somber day as we remembered all the innocent lives lost. Photos and a video of the Old Glory presentation can be found below. Thank you to all the individuals who coordinated and participated in the event... We could not have done this without you! Thank you as well to all the members of the public who joined us in commemorating the 20th anniversary of this tragic day in America. -Sabrina Robertson Public Information Officer 9/11/21 @ 7:15 a.m. It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Stephen W.

As previously announced, the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) has commissioned Walker Associates, Inc. to develop a comprehensive plan for public beach access and parking on Amelia Island. The study area is inclusive of the beach access areas within the City of Fernandina Beach, the Florida state parks on Amelia Island, and the unincorporated beach access areas of Amelia Island. As part of this study, we would like to hear from you, a valuable stakeholder in this process. We want to learn more about the parking and beach access patterns of current residents and visitors, with a goal toward understanding attitudes defined by parking and beach access related issues. As such, a survey has been created for you to tell us about your experiences related to accessing the beach. The total time to complete the survey is about five to seven minutes. We realize that your parking and beach access choices may change from day to day, however we are asking that you tell us about your experiences on a typical day. Click here to access the survey. If you have any questions about the study, please contact our Parks & Recreation Director, Jay Robertson, at (904) 530-6120 or via e-mail at jrobertson@nassaucountyfl.com. -Sabrina Robertson Public Information Officer |
