56 Hoboken Victims Of Sept. 11 Attacks To Be Remembered Sunday

HOBOKEN, NJ — With Hoboken directly across the river from the World Trade Center, the city was among those most affected by the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, and had among the highest death rates of any zip code, according to one accounting.

Hoboken will host annual September 11th Interfaith Memorial Service this Sunday for the victims of the attacks. All members of the public are invited to attend.

The service will take place on Sunday, Sept. 11, at 2 p.m. on Pier A next to the City's 9/11 Memorial in the northwest area of the park.

The memorial is aligned in the direction of the World Trade Center site and includes a steel beam base with a glass panel for each of the 56 Hoboken community members lost that day.

Each panel is engraved with a name and is illuminated at night.

The memorial is located within the grove of ginkgo trees which are also aligned with the World Trade Center that were planted in 2002 as a living memorial. The perimeter of the grove includes steel plates on the ground engraved with quotes from those who were there on that fateful day.
