The public is invited on Saturday, Sept. 11 to join the New Jersey Department of Military and Veterans Affairs for a memorial ceremony on the 20th anniversary of the terrorist attacks in New York, Washington, DC, and Shanksville, Pa.
The event begins at 8:30 a.m. at the GWOT Memorial on the grounds of the New Jersey Department of Military and Veterans Affairs headquarters, 101 Eggert Crossing Road, Lawrenceville Twp. The event will conclude with the New Jersey Army National Guard’s 3-112th Field Artillery performing a salute battery firing.
The GWOT Memorial was dedicated in May 2005 to remember and honor the sacrifice of the five New Jersey Citizen-Soldiers who died in the ensuing Global War on Terrorism (GWOT). The memorial is a reminder of the thousands of New Jersey National Guard Soldiers and Airmen and their service since 9/11.
