An all volunteer committee that was organized to produce an annual Remembrance Ceremony and also worked diligently to establish the Salem County Park of Remembrance, constructed TOTALLY from donated funds as well as in kind services. The committee has now expanded it's mission after the County / Fire Academy received a significant piece of steel artifact from the Port Authority of NY/NJ in August.
The steel, originally a part of the South Tower, is now being prepped by students at the Salem County Vocational Technical High School for installation in a planned Memorial Park on the front lawn of the Department of Emergency Services Training Facility / Fire Academy, in Mannington Township. This Memorial Park will house the steel, fashioned to resemble the twin towers, as well as a monument depicting the names of fallen / deceased county emergency services personnel and an area in memoriam of those buried on the property which houses a paupers cemetery used years ago by the county when the County Home and Alms House were open. Stay tuned for updates on this project and the committee's activities.
