22 years later, local leaders and community members gathered to remember those who died on 9/11 and to ensure the day is never forgotten.
Residents and leaders gathered on Monday in Rockville’s Courthouse Square Park, where a memorial stands to remember each of the 11 Montgomery County residents who died in the terrorist attack on Sept. 11, 2001.
Rockville Mayor Bridget Newton gave remarks during the ceremony. The annual remembrance has been held at least as long as she has been mayor, Newton said.
The 11 county residents memorialized in Rockville are William Edward Caswell, Dr. Gerald Paul Fisher, Capt. Lawrence D. Getzfred, Michele M. Heidenberger, Angela Marie Houtz, Teddington Hamm Moy, Lt. Darin H. Pontell, Scott A. Powell, Todd Hayes Reuben, Patricia J. Statz and Ernest M. Willcher.
