Newport Sister City Plaque

Memorials

Unveiled on St. Patrick’s Day 2022 by Jeanne Marie Napolitano, Mayor of Newport, Rhode Island, this bronze plaque celebrates the enduring sister-city bond between Newport and Kinsale. It was presented on behalf of the citizens of Newport as a heartfelt thank-you to the people of Kinsale for creating this living memorial.

It honours the 343 firefighters and Chaplain Fr. Mychal Judge who sacrificed their lives on September 11, and stands as a symbol of shared transatlantic love and respect.
