Brick Township will host its annual remembrance ceremony on Monday to continue mourning the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, which claimed the lives of several township residents.
The ceremony will be held at the “Angel in Anguish” sculpture at the foot of Windward Beach Park, off Princeton Avenue.
Designed by local sculptor Brian Hanlon, the Angel in Anguish monument is inscribed with the names of John Badagliacca, Brett Bailey, Robert DeVitt, Michael Diehl, John Perconti, James Sands, Thomas Sgroi and Christopher Traina – all Brick residents who died in the attack.
