On the morning of September 11, 2001, as the Twin Towers across the river appeared to be within reach under clear skies, an attack struck at what the country stands for: freedom, tolerance, and the pursuit of happiness. New Jersey’s innocent loved ones were violently and senselessly murdered that day at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Their legacies, unfulfilled dreams, hopes, and the unique qualities that enriched lives immeasurably endure in the hope of a better future for society, and their stories live on.
