A group of committed residents has put together a task force to erect a 9/11 memorial at the School Street pond in Rose Hill. The group is led by local business owner and longtime Rose Hill resident Gerald Amato. “The reason we put something together is we realized that all the kids that are in the schools right now, even in the high schools, they weren’t even born when this situation came about,” Amato said. … Amato is supported by a board of community members, including representatives from the Rose Hill Police Department, fire department, and the city itself. He says the idea started when a member of the Rose Hill Historical Society approached him with the idea. “One of the ladies with the historical society came to me, and she said, ‘Gerald, we need to do something, and you’re the guy that I know that can make it happen,’” Amato said. … Information about the memorial can be found online at https://rosehill9-11memorial.org/.
