This year, we honor and remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001. We want to recognize the courage, sacrifice, and dedication of the thousands of first responders, service members, and citizens who were affected by this national tragedy. We continue to reflect upon this as a way to understand our past and look to the future.
To commemorate this day, Paterson Great Falls hosted a volunteer cleanup in partnership with William Paterson University. We want to thank their team for helping us beautify our park.
While we continue to maintain our park, Ranger Emma from Paterson Great Falls National Historical Park, had the honor of assisting with the 25th annual September 11 observance at Flight 93 National Memorial. This Service of Remembrance honors the 40 passengers and crew members of United Airlines Flight 93 who gave their lives on September 11, 2001. We invite you to learn more and reflect on their stories by viewing the Service of Remembrance at the link below.
