COURTESY TOWN OF KEARNY
The Town of Kearny commemorated the victims of September 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 who lost their lives 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 9/11 Remembrance Flag in their memory.
The ceremony included the Kearny High School K-Birds, led by music director Millie Gonzalez, performing the National Anthem; a bagpipe rendition of Amazing Grace by George King; and a benediction by Deacon John P. Sarnas.
We remember the lives lost, honor their families and loved ones, and stand with all those forever affected by the events of September 11, 2001.
