Family members and local officials read the names of 147 Monmouth County residents who died on Sept. 11 during the county's 25th-anniversary ceremony.
Sue Levy, aunt of victim Jason David Cain, read at the memorial: "My beloved nephew, Jason David Cain, loving husband, father, and son." Other volunteers and meeting participants continued reading the full list of names as attendees placed carnations at the monument. The reverend Joseph J. Donnelly and the Knights of Columbus presented flowers at the monument; county park rangers raised the flag to full while staff played "Taps" as a final salute.
The reading was followed by a benediction and closing remarks inviting attendees to sign the memorial tradition of placing flowers.
