It is 22 years ago since the September 11, 2001 tragedy occurred.
I visited the 9/11 Union County Memorial in Clark, NJ.
My yearly visits to 911 Memorials is my dedication to those whose lives ended
due to a senseless act of violence.
Many deaths occurred on 9/11 at the World Trade Center,
on Flight 93, and at the Pentagon.
A Clark resident who died on 9/11 will be among those memorialized
at services across the country on the attack’s 22nd anniversary.
A MEMORIAL FOR:
James Arthur Nelson of Clark, NJ
James Arthur Nelson, 40 years old, was a 16-year veteran of the
Port Authority Police Department when he was killed in the line of duty
while rescuing others at the World Trade Center disaster, per his obituary.
Clark Township scheduled a September 11th memorial service on 9/11/23, Monday.
The ceremony was at the Jim Nelson Memorial Park, located at Grand St. and Broadway.
All 9/11 victims will be remembered across the nation at planned memorial services
on Sept. 11 to mark the 22nd anniversary of the attacks.
Most 9/11 victims were from either New York or New Jersey, where many who lived across the Hudson River from the World Trade Center recall the horror of watching the twin towers collapse from their homes in Hoboken and Jersey City.
Over 2,700 people died at the World Trade Center alone on 9/11, including the passengers of American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175. Another 184 were killed when American Airlines Flight 77 crashed into The Pentagon in Washington, D.C., and 44 died on United Airlines Flight 93 near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
