Members of U.S. Coast Guard Training Center Cape May stopped to remember the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks by holding a brief ceremony on the parade field, Friday.
The ceremony included a speech from the commanding officer, Capt. Todd Prestidge, a prayer from the Chaplain, Commander Shaun Brown and a speech from Seaman Recruit Autumn Bykofsky-Conley, both a Texas native and a recruit currently in basic training. Bykofsky-Conley will be stationed at Coast Guard Station Houston, Tx., following basic training. 
The ceremony featured the laying of wreaths, a 21-gun salute and the playing of Taps.
Additionally, local Coast Guardsmen helped surrounding communities in South Jersey remember the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, by supporting several Patriots’ Day celebrations.
