Morris County Remembers 9/11 Service

Sunday, Sept. 8th

6PM

Morris County September 11th Memorial on West Hanover Avenue rain or shine.

Alison Crowther and Honor (Crowther) Fagan, the mother and sister of the late Welles Crowther, who gave his life while saving others at the World Trade Center on 9/11, have generously agreed to be the keynote speakers.

Welles Remy Crowther was working on the 104th floor of the South Tower at WTC when the attacks occurred on 9/11. The 24-year-old rookie equities trader lost his life that day but not before repeatedly going back into the tower to help to save many others. He was last seen working with members of the FDNY just before the South Tower collapsed. Crowther became known as the “Man in the Red Bandana’’ for the red handkerchief he wore as a protective mask while taking on the role of rescuer. His story has been told in the documentary film, Man in the Red Bandana — https://www.maninredbandana.com/
