The Hutchinson Metro
Center and Bronx community
once more paid tribute to all
those who were tragically lost
on Sept. 11.
On Monday, Sept. 14, attendees
gathered outside of
the development’s Marriott
Residence Inn as pipe bands
played in a color guard, surrounded
by residents who intended
on ensuring that no
New Yorker, or American,
ever forgets the suffering and
sacrifi ce that the city had
endured 19 years ago.
Representatives from both
the 45th and 49th NYPD precincts
spoke along with Councilman
Mark Gjonaj, and Joseph
Kelleher, president of
Simone Properties during
the commemoration.
Both NYPD captains reiterated
a message of unity,
avoiding current politics and
simply communicating that
police are still there to help
citizens in need just as they
did on Sept. 11, 2001.
Also in attendance were
fi gures from the FDNY, PAPD,
