Middletown WTC Memorial Gardens Fund This fund exists to establish, maintain, and enhance a lasting memorial to the 37 township residents lost in the WTC attack on 9/11/01. But, we need your help.

The History
The morning of September 11, 2001, began like any other. Many of Middletown's residents arrived at the train station or ferry in order to make their way to work in Manhattan. Just a few short hours later, our small town would be forever changed as America experienced one of the worst attacks in the history of our country. As the Twin Towers were hit, and ultimately collapsed, thousands of people arrived at our docks seeking safety, as our first responders tended to the scared and injured, and even rushed to the city to assist with the rescue operation. Many of us watched from the beach as the towers fell, saw the smoke filling the sky and even felt the ashes raining down on our town. It soon became clear that 37 of our family, friends and neighbors would not be coming home. Many of their cars sat empty in the train station parking lot as a harrowing reminder, as our town struggled to come to grips with such a devastating loss. Our home of Middletown suffered the largest loss of life of any town outside of Manhattan. The days and weeks - and even months - following the attack were surreal and heartbreaking, but somehow, amongst all the fear and sadness, the people of Middletown came together to support the families whose lives had changed forever. Our town has even lost first responder, Joe Capriotti, to 9/11 illness. We vowed to Never Forget. Now, as we approach the 20 year anniversary of 9/11, we are renewing our promise to our neighbors by adding to and enhancing the beautiful memorial we built so many years ago. Please show your support for our community by donating to our WTC Memorial Fund Drive.

Thank you to everyone who joined us at our annual 9/11 Memorial Service yesterday as we remembered the residents, family members, neighbors, and friends we lost.

As we marked the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001, we invite you to watch our mini documentary (linked below) about the Middletown Township WTC Memorial Gardens.

The documentary shares the stories of a Middletown 9/11 survivor, a fire chief who responded that day, and the parents of a Port Authority police officer who died in the line of duty.

It also highlights the newly renovated Memorial Gardens — a place dedicated to the 37 Middletown residents lost on 9/11 and to local first responders who have lost, or will lose, their lives to 9/11-related illnesses.

Their stories remind us why we must never forget. 🇺🇸❤️
