Berit Ollestad made the pilgrimage to the city on 10th anniversary of attacks.
Morristown resident, and friend of Patch, Berit Ollestad, made the pilgrimage to New York City on Sept. 11, as many others did, for the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. There, she captured the day in photos. Here, she tells her story: Ten years ago on 9/11, I was literally a world away visiting family in Europe. It would be almost a week before I returned to a country I barely recognized. Being so far away when the attacks occurred, it felt much like it does when I watch wars being conducted in far away lands such as Syria, Libya and Afghanistan. Except this would prove to be a very different war because it occurred on my home soil. When I first heard about what had happened, my husband and I were traveling through a remote part of …

Robert C. Kennedy, 55, died in the attack on the World Trade Center. His survivors' lives, while never the same, go on
Maureen P. Kennedy of Morris Townhip moved away from Toms River about a year after her husband, Robert C. Kennedy, died in the Sept. 11 attack. Memories made it too difficult to stay in the town where the couple had lived for decades. They raised two daughters there and Maureen had been a branch supervisor in the library. Kennedy now lives–happily-four doors away from her oldest daughter, who has two young sons, and about 20 minutes away from her younger daughter and her two sons. Maureen Kennedy keeps alive the memory of the grandfather the boys, ages 2 to 9, never met. “They are everything, I tell you,” Maureen Kennedy said. “The really sad thing is I know their grandfather would get such a kick out of them.” Robert Kennedy, 55, a senior…

Most of us can remember where we were on that day. But for some, things were never the same.
There are moments we all share—nearly unimaginable in their grand impact, and profound in their personal effect. Sept. 11, 2001 was undeniably such a time. Patch—working in collaboration with the Huffington Post and the Action America project—has collected hundreds of stories about the ways the terrorist attacks of 9/11 affected the lives of people in the communities we serve. A small handful of those stories—focusing on residents of Morris, Somerset and Sussex Counties, but including more than two dozen others from throughout New Jersey—are told here through photographs. Starting Sunday morning, hundreds more are at the Huffington Post. If you'd like to share your own story about how 9/11 affected you, e-mail Louis@Patch.com (if you've …

Peter Demnitz honors Morristown officers who went to Ground Zero on Sept. 11, 2001.
They came out of it a little different. They probably don't want to talk about it. They probably don't want to even be recognized for what they did. But, it's time that they were. That was the sentiment of Morristown Police Chief Peter Demnitz, who recognized nine officers on Thursday, Sept. 8, during an appointment and promotion ceremony at the Hyatt Morristown. The recognized officers, some of which were not in attendance because they are currently deployed military personell, are: Capt. Michael Ubertaccio; Capt. Steven Sarinelli; Lt. James Cullen; Det. Sgt. Stuart Greer; Det. Richard Lamperti; Det. Brendan Briscoe; Officer Brian McDonnell; Officer Adam Khoudja; and Officer Scott Weaver. "When NYPD said you're not getting on the barge, …
People in Morristown remember Sept. 11, 2001, and look to the future.
Where were you 10 years ago? Were you just waking up? At work? Were you in college, hundreds of miles from New York City? In another country? It didn't matter for people we interviewed in Morristown about their memories of Sept. 11, 2001. For everyone, 9/11 left an indelible imprint on their lives.

This was not an "event" or "a day" so it doesn't make a difference if it was a day or two before. Today is the day. Bow your heads in prayer and don't take issue with when it was "commemorated". Think about the planes tearing into the buildings taking lives. more ›
