Brick Township mourned its eight victims of the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 with their family members on hand as local officials, members of the clergy and hundreds of residents gathered at the Angel in Anguish memorial sculpture at Windward Beach Park to remember the day’s tragic events.
On the collective mind of the audience was the significance of the 18th anniversary of the attacks. Wednesday marked the first day an American adult can say he or she was born after the events at the World Trade Center, Pentagon and in the skies above Pennsylvania.
