This year marks the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, and the Garden of Reflection in Lower Makefield Township, Pennsylvania, will hold two ceremonies to honor the victims. The township's Board of Supervisors approved this plan, recognizing that the date coincides with the Jewish holiday of Rosh Hashanah. The morning ceremony will focus on the events of September 11, 2001, while the evening ceremony, starting around 5:30 p.m., will conclude just before sunset and will include a candlelight vigil for reflection. The Garden of Reflection serves as the official memorial for the victims from Pennsylvania, commemorating over 2,900 lives lost, including 18 from Bucks County, the highest casualty count from any municipality in the state. The memorial features twin fountains and glass panels etched with the names of the deceased, including pilot Victor Saracini, whose wife actively supports the memorial through fundraising events.
