We Remember Them
At the annual 9/11 Memorial ceremony sponsored by the Monmouth County Parks System and the Monmouth County Board of Commissioners, this morning, several people who have attended numerous annual memorials at Mount Mitchill since they began 24 years ago, recalled that the late Freeholder/Commissioner Lillian G. Burry always read a poem at the ceremony, following the tolling of the bells for each of the significant times the morning of September 11, 2001.
Burry died August 28, 2025. Commissioner Tom Arnone headed the ceremony this year, with all Monmouth County Commissioner in attendance and participating in the moving ceremony.
But for those who miss Commissioner Burry’s poem:
WE REMEMBER THEM
In the rising of the sun and in its going down,
We Remember Them
In the flowing of the wind and in the chill of winter,
We Remember Them
In the opening of buds and in the warmth of summer,
We Remember Them
When we are weary and in need of strength,
We Remember Them
When we are lost and sick of heart,
We Remember Them
When we have joys we yearn to share,
We Remember Them
So long as we live, they too shall live
For now they are a part of us,
As We Remember Them.

Yossarian had chosen the site, and he and Orr had raised the  tent to get her. Orr, who was a grinning pygmy with pilot’s wings and thick, wavy brown hair parted in the middle, furnished all the knowledge, while Yossarian, who was taller, stronger, broader, and faster, did most of the work.
