Toms River in Ocean County, New Jersey — The American Northeast (Mid-Atlantic)
September 11 Memorial
This memorial is placed in memory of the innocent people, heroic firemen, police and rescue workers who died during the attack on the Twin Towers. The Pentagon and the airliners used as tools of destruction.
Our Brightest Day Samantha L. Ruocco, 8th grade student, Toms River Schools
They want us to remember tons
of dust and twisted steel.
They think they can destroy us,
that we will never heal.
They want our world to crumble
and say that it's "God's plan".
But it's God's love that unites us,
each and every man.
Their evil has attacked us all
and filled our hearts with fear.
So now we must recover and
grow stronger with each tear.
We must pray to God for guidance,
to show us all the way.
Our faith will turn this time of
darkness into our brightest day!
Dedicated on behalf of the people of Dover Township
