Monmouth County Invites 9/11 Families To Participate In Memorial

MONMOUTH COUNTY, NJ — Do you live in Monmouth County and have a loved one or family member who died in 9/11?

Many towns along the Raritan Bayshore, including Hazlet, Holmdel and Middletown, lost dozens of residents in the terrorist attacks 21 years ago this September.

The Monmouth County Board of County Commissioners is inviting families of Monmouth County 9/11 victims to participate in the Monmouth County September 11 Memorial Ceremony.

As always, the ceremony will be held at Mount Mitchill Scenic Overlook at 460 Ocean Boulevard, Atlantic Highlands, NJ on Sunday, Sept. 11 at 9:00 a.m.

“Every year, the County personally invites families of those who lost their lives on 9/11, but we know that people may move or there could be extended family who would like to help honor their loved ones,” said Commissioner Ross F. Licitra, liaison to the Monmouth County Park System. “We invite families to contact our offices if they are interested in participating in the memorial ceremony.”

“The Board of County Commissioners would like to invite the families of those who lost their lives during this tragedy to not only attend, but to participate in the County’s memorial ceremony,” said Commissioner Director Thomas A. Arnone. “It is our responsibility to continue to remember those who lost loved ones and to honor the memory of those who perished.”
