Description

At last night's Remembrance Ceremony at Garden of Reflection (Pennsylvania's official 9/11 Memorial) in Yardley. As always, it was a beautiful, tasteful, and moving evening. Eighteen Bucks County souls were lost that fateful day, including one of the pilots whose plane crashed into the WTC.
