PHOTOS: Chatham Pays Tribute to 9/11 Victims
A remembrance ceremony in Chatham Borough marked all three memorials in town.
Chatham Borough held their 9-11 Remembrance Ceremony Saturday evening, with stops at the three memorials in town.
The ceremony began with a Color Guard salute and bagpipe band at the Chatham NJ Transit train station, where a tree was dedicated in 2002 to the memory of those Chathamites who took the train into New York City on Sept. 11, 2001 and never came home.
Then came a procession to Reasoner Park, where Marty Sechehay, the captain of the Chatham Emergency Squad, Chatham Borough Fire Chief Peter Glogolich and Chatham Borough Police Chief Philip J. Crosson laid a wreath at the memorial dedicated to the first responders who died in the terrorist attacks.
