Ceremonies to Honor Memory of 9/11

Both the county and township are offering several ceremonies Sunday to honor the 10th anniversary of Sept. 11. 

Here are your options for today:

• Township ceremony—At 12:45 p.m. at the municipal building, the township will host a brief ceremony, including a Moment of Remembrance and a minute of reflection, as well as the ringing of bells and sounding of sirens. A national mandate requires that Americans cease all work for one minute at 1 p.m. to mark the moment.
• North Branch Volunteer Fire Co. ceremony—The fire company will be holding a 9/11 ceremony dedication with a steel beam from the fallen World Trade Towers. The ceremony will be held at the station on Route 28 at 8 a.m.
• Ceremony at Memorial Clock Tower—The county will be holding a ceremony and planting of a memorial tree at the clock tower on Main Street in Somerville. The ceremony will be held at 8:45 a.m., and will include the reading of the names of the 39 Somerset County residents who died in the World Trade Center.
• Somerset Patriots Ceremony—The Somerset Patriots will host a special 9/11 tribute before the game, and will honor those currently in the service and their families. It will also honor those who lost their lives on Sept. 11.
