THE LIST: Remembering New Jersey’s 746 September 11th victims

By Matt Rooney
_

It happened 19-years ago this Friday, Save Jerseyans. You remember where you were. How could you forget?

The State of New Jersey lost 746 residents – brother, sisters, parents and children – in the coordinated Al Qaeda attacks on New York City, the Pentagon in Northern Virginia, and United Airlines Flight 93 over the Pennsylvania countryside.

539 New Jerseyans are forever designated as “missing” at the World Trade Center “Ground Zero” site per a haunting website maintained (but no longer updated) by the New Jersey State Police. Other Garden State residents who perished were reported missing to local authorities in New Jersey and New York. Overall, 2,977 innocents died that day in addition to the 19 hijackers.

Every year, Save Jersey commemorates the anniversary of September 11th not only to honor the victims of those attacks – the opening act of what would become ‘The War On Terror’ – but to take note of how much the world changed, overnight, from the moment those airlines slammed into the Twin Towers. Nothing was or has ever been in the same.

Not since Pearl Harbor has a single day arguably changed this country and the course of U.S. history so profoundly. Our culture, politics, entertainment, security concerns, technological orientation, news media, and even how we interact with one another are all very different than they were 19 years ago, so much so that I think it’s hard for a majority of Americans under 40 (myself included) to remember life in this country before September 11th.

As a junior in high school at the time? September 11, 2001 also marked the effective end of childhood for many of my contemporaries. 

An alphabetical listing of New Jersey’s fallen has been reproduced for you below (h/t New Jersey 9/11 Memorial Foundation).

Recall. Reflect. Remember them, and also remember who we are, who we were, and what it will take to remain free.

Never forget:
