COURTESY KEARNY TOWNSHIP
The Town of Kearny commemorated the victims of Sept. 11, 2001, with a solemn Flag Raising and Remembrance Ceremony at Town Hall’s American Revolution Bicentennial Park. Mayor Carol Jean Doyle honored the seven Kearny residents lost that day—L. Patrick Dickinson, Antoinette Duger, Judith A. Reese, Michell Lee Robotham, Antonio Rocha, George Strauch, and Thomas Sullivan—by reading their names aloud, as family members raised the remembrance flag in tribute. The ceremony featured the Kearny High School K-Birds, led by music director Millie Gonzalez, performing the National Anthem; remarks from Senator Angela McKnight and Congresswoman Nellie Pou’s Field Representative Christian Gil; a bagpipe rendition of Amazing Grace by George King; and a benediction from Deacon John P. Sarnas.
