First responders read the names of each Jersey City resident lost on that fateful day.
“It is important that we commemorate September 11 every year to remember the lives lost on that tragic day and ensure that history does not repeat itself,” Fulop said. “Jersey City played an important role in supporting the first responders 22 years ago, and I want to thank our first responders and the community for being here today. We must never forget.”U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez spoke at Essex County’s annual 9/11 event at the Eagle Rock Reservation in West Orange.
“The firefighters, police officers, EMTs and Port Authority officials who raced toward burning buildings as others fought through ash and dust toward safety. ... As we’ve done for the past two decades, today and every day, we honor their sacrifice and the void left behind through our enduring commitment to never forget.”
“We do this every year because we want to remember what happened on our land, which is important considering what America stands for,” she said. “We want to remind those who invaded us that we will not quit. We will not give up.” Bayonne planned to honor its victims Monday night in an interfaith memorial service and candlelight vigil at 7 p.m. at the 9/11 memorial in Harbor View Memorial Park, at the former Military Ocean Terminal. The service will also honor the victims of the attack on the World Trade Center on Feb. 26, 1993.
