Two new plaques have been installed at the Hopewell Valley September 11th and Emergency Services Memorial. The plaques have been placed to remember the lives lost at the Pentagon and on United Flight 93 on Sept. 11, 2001.
The memorial is located in Alliger Park, along with the Veterans Memorial, next to the Hopewell Township Municipal Complex. The centerpiece of the memorial is a 10-ton steel beam recovered from the World Trade Center following the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. It was placed in the township’s care in August 2010. The Memorial has been under construction from that time and is basically complete.
Surrounding the memorial is the “Walk of Heroes,“ which includes the engraved names of local emergency services volunteers who have passed away. Each September a memorial service is held to remember those lost on 9/11 as well as local volunteers who have passed.
