Lake Placid American Legion Post 25 had a solemn and wonderful morning on September 11, 2023. 9-11 Memorials are never a happy thing, they are reminders of our fellow citizens who gave all. We patriots will never forget and it’s up to us to keep that knowing alive.

This year was different for Post 25 in that we dedicated our beautiful new mural, painted by local mural artist, Keith Goodson. The mural project was launched by Sons of the American Legion Commander, Jake Gordon. So, it was appropriate that Keith and Jake  “cut the ribbon” for Post 25’s “Honoring Veterans” mural.

Afterward, Post 25 provided free breakfast for everyone in attendance; pancakes, sausage, biscuits, and gravy!

Big “THANKS!” to Commander Fred Pierce, Jake Gordon, the entire staff of Post 25, Keith Goodson, the Lake Placid Mural Society, Jennifer Bush of the Lake Placid Chamber of Commerce, Retired Lt. Col. Jason Logan and his family, the VFW 4300 Honor Guard, Kim Moody from Highlands News-Sun, and everyone that attended.

It was a perfect way to wrap up a solemn and wonderful morning.
