“The purpose of this event is simply to continue the traditional Jamestown Freedom Walk started several years ago to reflect on the lives lost on Sept. 11, 2001, renew our commitment to freedom and the values of our country and to honor our military members and their families and our first responders”, said Charlie Kourajian, Patriotic Council Chairman.

The event was a half mile walk through downtown Jamestown, starting at the All Vets Club, 116 1/2 First Street East.

After the walk, the Vets Club hosted a free spaghetti supper served followed with a short program of remembrance of the 9-11 tragedy and a show of support for our troops and first responders. Police chief Scott Edinger will be the speaker.

“This will be an opportunity for the community to remember the 9-11 terrorist attack on our country and the people who perished as a result,” Kourajian noted. “It will also be a chance to show our appreciation and our continued support of our troops wherever they may be, abroad or stateside.”

“Everyone is invited to attend, the walk route is short and should be an interesting walk/mini-parade downtown,” said Kourajian. “If you can’t make the walk, you are invited to come for the supper and enjoy the program.”
