Although storm clouds threatened and eventually brought the event to a sudden halt, Cape May City’s 9/11 10th Anniversary Remembrance completed its ceremony with, as Cape May Mayor Edward Mahaney remarked, a much larger than usual crowd in attendance. The event included music from the Cape Harmonaires as well as remarks from Mayor Mahaney, West Cape May Mayor Pam Kaithern and State Senator Jeff Van Drew.
Two Cape May Firefighters who went to New York City after Sept. 11 to aid New York firefighters, Lt. Alex Coulter and Firefighter Michael Eck, lowered an American Flag. Members of Boy Scout Troop 73 folded the flag.
