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

It was 22 years ago today, Save Jerseyans.

Where were you?

What do you remember?

Do you remember?

The Garden State lost 750 residents in the coordinated Al Qaeda attacks on Lower Manhattan, the Pentagon complex in Northern Virginia, and United Airlines Flight 93 over the normally quiet Pennsylvania countryside. We’ve all played the “where were you” when it happened game. Some of you have shared sobering or even inspiring stories with us over the years since that dreadful, world-changing day.

Revisiting the lessons of 9/11 is more important today than ever before since MOST college kids starting their fall 2023 semesters this month don’t just have no memories of the attacks, but they weren’t even alive when they happened. For them, September 11th is what Pearl Harbor was for the Baby Boomers… a memorial down town, a blip on the evening news, and a dramatic passage of a high school history textbook. Sobering? You bet. So it’s incumbent upon all of us to do our part this anniversary and every anniversary. “Remembering” isn’t enough anymore. We need to teach.

Evil is real. Morality isn’t all situationally-tinged shades of gray. America remains a target because we are the good guys, warts and all, and while it may seem oxymoronic, we cannot remain free without reinforcing everything that makes us a target in the first place. For example, our tradition of reverence for free expression is rapidly eroding. Poll after poll reveals that Generation Z is amendable to curbing First Amendment rights when someone’s feelings are in danger of being hurt. We can’t keep going down this road or the sacrifices of two decades ago will have been in vain.

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