Nutley Public Safety Commissioner Alphonse Petracco has announced plans to hold a remembrance ceremony for victims of September 11, 2001 on Monday, September 11th, 2023 at 10:00 a.m. at the 9/11 monument site that is located in front of the Nutley Township Hall. Residents are invited to join Township officials, victim’s families, friends and clergy in remembering those who perished that day. Among those lost were three Nutley residents, Lt. Robert Cirri, Frank LaLama, and Dorota Kopiscko.
 
“For a time after that horrible day a common phrase was ‘Never Forget,’' Commissioner Petracco says. “Unfortunately, some have gotten away from that in their day to day lives. So I think our ceremony is more relevant than ever this year. Nutley will continue to ‘Never Forget’ and this is one way of showing that.”
 
In memory of those who were lost, Township residents are asked to display a lighted candle on their front porch or an electric candle in a window between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m on September 11th. Residents are also encouraged to display an American flag in front of their homes to show united support against the war on terrorism. It is Commissioner  Petracco’s wish that we will always unite to remember the events of September 11, 2001 and that displays of this type will forever serve as a reminder of the tragic loss that our country suffered that day.  Any questions can be directed to (973) 284-4935.
