Congressman Chris Smith’s remarks at the Monmouth County 9-11 remembrance

Delivered at Mt Mitchill, Atlantic Highlands, September 11, 2020

Congressman Chris Smith

Everyone remembers where they were and what they were doing when terrorists hijacked four airliners in order to commit the worst act of terrorism in American history.

   Nearly 700 New Jerseyans—147 from Monmouth County alone—lost their lives that day.

   No one remembers the shock, horror and numbing sorrow more, however, than the families and close friends of the victims.

Monmouth County Freeholder Director Tom Arnone
