Livingston To Hold 9/11 Remembrance Ceremony For 2024

LIVINGSTON, NJ — The following news release comes courtesy of the Township of Livingston. Find out how to post announcements or events to your local Patch site.

The Township of Livingston’s annual 9/11 Ceremony of Remembrance will be held on Wednesday, September 11, 2024 at the 9/11 Living Memorial Garden located on the Livingston Memorial Oval. The program will begin at 6:30 p.m. and will be held rain or shine. All are invited and encouraged to attend as we honor those lives stolen from us on that day 23 years ago.

The ceremony honors the lives of the seven Livingston residents whose lives were taken in the terrorist attack on the World Trade Centers in 2001:

• Luke A. Dudek
• Jeffrey Brian Gardner
• Donald Thomas Jones II
• Ming-Hao Liu
• Joseph P. McDonald
• John M. Pocher
• Kenneth Albert Zelman

While the attacks themselves occurred 23 years ago, their consequences are still felt each day. America has made important gains in security since 2001. However, some of those gains have come at the cost of personal freedom, as demonstrated by the heavy screenings and regulations implemented at airports and experienced upon entering many public buildings.

Every day, the families and friends of those taken on 9/11 mourn the loss of their loved ones and all their lives could have been. Residents are encouraged to attend this event, which is held so closely in the hearts of all.

Parking will be available at St. Philomena’s Church, 386 S. Livingston Avenue.
