Shannon Bartlett raised $5000 to obtain The Fallen Heroes Monument for the Alexandria Bay American legion John B. Lyman Post 904. Her cousin Jack Sweet of Alexandria Bay was killed in IRAQ in 2008.

Today was the Unveiling Ceremony..

Local musician and Veteren Ian Wagbone performed a nice song for the crowd..
Various speakers.. Shannon Bartlett, Girl Scout Officials, Legion Commander, Addie Russell etc etc etc.. a letter was also read from Senator Patty Ritchie..

WATCH THE VIDEO..





UPDATE.. I was going to make a 2nd video, but it was mostly folks speaking and because of the wind the distance it wasn't very good quality audio.. so instead I just posted a bunch more photos..
