This year marks the 19th Anniversary of the September 11 terrorist tragedy which killed 2,977 persons in New York, Washington, DC, and Pennsylvania. While few who lived in New Jersey will ever forget Sept. 11, 2001 and the days that followed, we continue to annually remember the innocent victims and mourn their losses with Family and Friends.
Most of those who died in the New York attack were civilians attempting to survive; however 343 Firefighters and 71 Police Officers gave their lives that day rushing into the burning buildings. Until the World Trade Center Memorial was unveiled in 2011, the Eagle Rock Reservation Memorial was the only 9/11 memorial to list all of the Victims names. Over the years, numerous persons continue to grow ill and die from exposure to the toxic dust that they inhaled for months. September 11, 2020
