9/11 Remembrance At Holmdel Touchstone

HOLMDEL, NJ — Mayor Greg Buontempo and the Township Committee invite all residents to visit the Holmdel Township 9/11 Memorial on Sunday, Sept. 11 to honor the victims of the 2001 events in their own way in a moment of quiet reflection.

On the morning of Sept. 11, the township will position a table near the touchstone memorial at the township building where flowers, candles and American flags will be placed for patrons to display around the “Upturned Hands” sculpture in an act of remembrance, reflection, and respect to those our community lost.

The table, flowers, and flags will remain at the site for the duration of the day, according to information from the township.

Monmouth County lost 147 residents in the terrorist attacks, among the 2,977 people who were killed that day at the Twin Towers and surrounding areas, the Pentagon, and on the four airplanes used in the attacks. The attacks by the 19 hijackers, who also died that day, remain the deadliest terrorist act in world history.
