I wish to personally say thank you to all the good citizens who took the time to come out on Sept. 9 to the Remembrance Tribute to that tragic day on 9/11 held at Heron's Garden in Lake Placid. We had a nice crowd, a little disappointing that there were not more that attended, but very appreciative of the patriotic minded folks that did come out.
