Township officials, faith leaders, first responders and others on Sept. 12 honored the six township residents who were killed in the terrorist attacks in New York City on Sept. 11, 2001.

The Franklin Township Police Department’s Honor Guard and members of St. Matthias Cub Scout Pack 195 led the Pledge of Allegiance, and welcoming remarks were given by Township Councilman Rajiv Prasad (D-At Large).

The Invocation was given by the Rev. Sharon Culley of Somerset Presbyterian Church, which was followed by Mayor Phil Kramer reading the names of the township residents killed in the attacks.
