Honoring both United States’ and Canada’s veterans from atop the high peaks
By John T. Ryan
Americans and Canadians both honored their nation’s veterans on November 11th. On Memorial Day 2010 “Adirondack Ladies” Joanne Kennedy, Clare Dalton, Colleen Kaulfuss, Lori Clark and Jean Ryan hiked Whiteface Mountain and the adjacent Esther Mountain. Joanne Kennedy was raised in Nova Scotia and holds joint citizenship so she didn’t forget her native Canada. The ladies placed U.S. and Canada flags on both mountains and descended Whiteface via the Veterans Memorial Highway. Viewing America from high atop the Adirondack peaks – What a way to celebrate freedom and nature’s beauty; we enjoy both because of the sacrifices of our veterans. Thanks to the ladies for their photos. (Click here for photos)
