Residents Donate 9/11 Bronze Plaque to Ross Township

Ross residents Meghan Jones and her mother, Susie Jones, presented a bronze plaque commemorating the terrorist attack of Sept. 11, 2001, to Ross Township Commissioners Monday at the board's regular meeting. 

Meghan Jones, 27, purchased the plaque, which is about 10 inches in diameter and weighs 10 pounds, through an employee discount offered by her employer, the Gibraltar Mausoleum Construction Co. of Pittsburgh.

She said she purchased it on behalf of her brother, William Jones, 22, who is a private first class with the U.S. Army Reserve and a student at Robert Morris University. 

The plaque cost about $100, Meghan Jones said. 

Township Manager Wayne Jones said the plaque would likely be displayed in the lobby outside the commissioners' board room.
