September 11 memorial ceremony

The Township of Belleville will hold a ceremony at the township’s Sept. 11 memorial. There will be readings and other observances to honor the memory of the three Belleville victims of the attacks.

There will be readings honoring the families  of 9/11 victims, and a performance by the Chorus of Communities Choir.

Sunday, Sept. 11, 1 P.M.
Belleville Memorial Park - Franklin Ave. and Chestnut St.

For more information, additional township observances

Each flag pole at the memorial honors one of the victims of the September 11, 2001 tragedy at the World Trade Center. Two Belleville residents and one former resident - Antoinette Duger, Harry Ramos and Harvey J. Gardner III, are honored. 

The pavers at the memorial are in the shape of the Pentagon, which was also attacked on that day. Additional plans at the site are expected to use more pavers to present an outline of the twin towers.

Scoutmaster Gerry Doherty and scouts from Belleville Troop 350, sponsored by Fewsmith Church, volunteered on Saturday planting flowers around the memorial's bordering cherry blossom trees.
