South Brunswick 9/11 Victims Etched on Empty Sky Memorial

This weekend brought the dedication of the new Empty Sky Memorial in Jersey City for victims killed in the terror attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.

South Brunswick residents killed in the attacks were Jeffrey Robinson, 38, of Monmouth Junction, Kenneth Ledee, 38, of Monmouth Junction, and Toyena Skinner, 27, of Kingston

The memorial is etched with the names of 746 New Jersey residents who lost their lives on that day. The $12 million memorial sits in the park where first responders gathered to launch rescue efforts a decade ago.

The memorial’s long, parallel walls recall the shape of the Twin Towers if they were lying on their sides, and when you walk between them, your gaze is directed across the Hudson River toward the spot in lower Manhattan where the buildings once stood. The brushed stainless steel of the walls captures the changing reflections of the clouds, weather and skyline.
