To the Editor:

On Sept. 27, 2021 we penned a letter to the mayor of Barnegat, Al Bille and Barnegat Town Council members Al Cirulli, Pat Pipi, Linda Kropf and Joe Marte expressing our deep disappointment and sadness in having learned Pirates Day was scheduled for the same day as the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 horrific assaults on the World Trade Center in New York City, the Pentagon Building in Arlington, Va., and the crash of Flight 93 in Somerset County, Pennsylvania.
