Remembering 9-11 at the Garden of Reflection in Bucks County PA - A Beautiful Memorial

Services for Real Estate Pros with Malfi Marketing Solutions ~ for real estate professionals

As soon as anyone says 9-11 you automatically hear someone recount where they were and what they felt when they heard and watched the devastating news about the attacks in New York, the Pentagon and Pennsylvania.

I live in Yardley (Lower Makefield), Bucks County PA in which 18 people who worked in the World Trade Center lost their lives.

The Garden of Reflection (just 1.5 miles from my home) is the official Pennsylvania Memorial to the Victims of Sepetember 11, 2011 terrorist attacks created to remember and honor loved ones and all 2,973 killed with a walking journey that symbolizes “After Darkness…Light.” 

It truly is a place of beauty and hope that people throughout Bucks County and those visiting our area love to come and pay tribute to all those who lost their lives and simply remember not just on the anniversary of September 11th but often.  Drive by any day of the week and you will find people sitting, walking and remembering. 

One section of the memorial has all 2,973 names of those that died and another area of the garden is dedicated to the 18 Bucks County residents who lost their lives.

Just some of the names of victims etched into glass.

Here’s the video courtesy of Action News 6 capturing last night’s events. My neighbor, who lost her husband describes her feelings 10 years later.

I invite you to take a virtual tour of the garden and see some of the pictures I took last night at the Candlelight Vigil in which Bucks County residents held lighted candles, said prayers, honored victims and families and simply remembered.

AM, I'm glad the country remembered on the tenth anniversary of this unprovoked attack.  Nice nighttime photos - those aren't easy to take well.
