The township held a special commemorative ceremony at the Gardens last week honoring the 37 residents as well as those who have since passed from 9/11 related illnesses.

At the closing of the candlelight ceremony 9/11, hundreds of community members walked through the Memorial Gardens, which were renovated for the 25th anniversary. Improvements include a restored walkway (Memorial Pathway), enhanced lighting, refreshed landscaping, irrigation upgrades, and additional benches to provide visitors with additional places to pause and reflect. 

Persons wishing to view the documentary can watch it on YouTube or the township’s TV channel (Verizon FIOS Channel 26/Comcast Cable Channel 20) daily at 8 p.m.

Family members of any of the residents who lost their lives who would like information about the annual programs honoring residents, should visit middletownnj.org/911contact  and complete the form.
