Local officials urge unity and remembrance at Union 9/11 ceremony

Township and county leaders used the 25th‑anniversary ceremony to call for community unity and continued support for families and first responders. Mayor Patricia Guerra Frazier thanked first responders and families and asked the community to carry the promise of remembrance forward.

County Commissioner Michelle Dellsfort told attendees that “that spirit of unity remains part of the legacy of September 11, and it is our responsibility to carry it forward,” and Assemblyman Ed Rodriguez said ceremonies like this matter because they make people pause and remember those who did not come home.

Why it mattered: officials reinforced a local civic message that remembrance should translate to community support for responders and families, and they publicly recognized local emergency agencies and veterans in attendance.
