Jersey City To Hold Sept. 11 Ceremony At Memorial On Waterfront

JERSEY CITY, NJ — Against the backdrop of the World Trade Center, Jersey City will hold its Sept. 11, 2001 remembrance ceremony this Wednesday morning.

Mayor Steven Fulop will join the City Council, public safety officials, community members, and the friends and family of the victims to honor the lives lost in the terror attacks.

The ceremony will take place at the Jersey City 9/11 memorial, consisting of twisted steel beams from Ground Zero.

On the day of the attacks in 2001, the area where the memorial now stands became a triage center where emergency responders provided aid and assistance to those who sought refuge in Jersey City.

The names of the Jersey City residents who died in the terrorist attacks are etched on the memorial to ensure they are never forgotten.
