Upper Township Residents took the day to remember the tragic events that occurred on the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001. The overcast day brought the crowd of people indoors at the meeting room clubhouse of Osprey Point Park instead of the traditional William R. Godfrey Patriot Park. The event was attended by US Congressman Jeff Van Drew, Upper Township’s Committeeman Samuel Palombo, Committeeman Tyler Casaccio, and Marmora Fire Chief Jay Newman. Also in attendance was the Upper Township American Legion Post 239, along with many members of our Volunteer Fire Departments along with our Upper Township EMS Department. The Local residents that attended all reflected on the tragic events that occurred on September 11 and how our nation recovered from such a devastating loss.

The master of ceremonies Jim Joyce kept the event flowing as it started off with an invocation by Osprey Point Resident Jean Joyce and followed up by a beautiful rendition of the National Anthem by Upper Township resident Osprey Point resident Jim Offner. Ernie Cassaccio then spoke on who the Osprey Point American Flag was being dedicated today to Osprey Point Resident who served in the military and was a resident of Osprey Point.

Congressman Jeff Van Drew recalled the days following 9/11, along with the following time where ALL Americans proudly flew the American Flag and the support of one another. How things have changed, with so much division. He then asked the audience keep these memories in our hearts and to pass them on to the next generation, so they too will “Never Forget”.

Marmora Fire Department Chief Jay Newman reflected on his memories of 9/11 from how the local Upper Township Fire and Emergency Services Departments sent a contingent of locals up to help at Ground Zero on the days following, as well as two Upper Township kids who became Washington DC Firefighters and were there working the Pentagon attack. He then proceeded with bringing up all the Firefighters and Emergency Services members who were in attendance to acknowledge their hard work for our community.

The event ended with a moment of silence while American Legion Post 239 played Taps to reflect on this tragic attack. Mr. Jim Offner concluded the event by singing you Never Walk Alone and then finished with God Bless America in which the crowd joined in.

Special thanks to Osprey Point and their residents who helped organize the event, Marmora Fire Department for their Flag Presentation upon arrival to the event, Seaville Fire Department, Tuckahoe Fire Department, as well as Upper Township Department of Emergency Services.
