You are cordially invited to join us on Saturday, September 11th at 10:00am at Musconetcong Park in Stanhope for a 9/11 Remembrance Ceremony for those we lost and to honor the strength and courage of First Responders and Survivors.
About the Ceremony:
- Commemoration of the day all of our lives were forever changed, September 11, 2001.
- Honor the bravery of the thousands of First Responders.
- Stand as a living reminder of resilience, survival and rebirth through community strength.
- Dedication of seedling from Survivor Tree.
About the Tree:
In October 2001, a severely damaged tree was discovered at Ground Zero, with snapped roots and burned and broken branches. The tree was removed from the rubble and placed in the care of the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation. After its recovery and rehabilitation, the tree was returned to the Memorial in 2010. New, smooth limbs extended from the gnarled stumps, creating a visible demarcation between the tree’s past and present. Today, the tree stands as a living reminder of resilience, survival, and rebirth. Each year, the 9/11 Memorial gives seedlings from the Survivor Tree to three communities that have endured tragedy. Stanhope is honored to be a 2021 recipient.
This event will be held rain or shine.
