With the nationwide attention on police, a local group wants to show law enforcement officers that many people in the community support them, and appreciate the tough job they do everyday. Randy Tedford, a correction officer at Dannemora, and Thomas Brown, a retired correction officer from Altona, are organizing a rally this weekend, and inviting the public to show their appreciation for law enforcement and correction officers, first responders, members of the military, and veterans.
It’s being held Sunday, July 12th, with a motorcade meeting in the parking lot of the Hobby Lobby store at Champlain Centre at 9:45am, and then proceeding down Tom Miller Road and Boynton Avenue, past City Hall, and ending up at the U.S. Oval and Veterans Park where Honor Flight send-offs have been held. The public is being invited to join the rally at the Oval from 10:30am until 2pm. The event will feature speakers, and a special performance of The Star-Spangled Banner at 12 noon.
