The America Supports You Freedom Walk is a national tradition that calls on people to reflect on the lives lost on September 11, 2001, remember those who responded, honor our veterans past and present, and renew our commitment to freedom and the values of our country. Each year the number of walks held throughout the nation grows, as more people are moved to participate.
The tradition was born when Pentagon employees, seeking a way to honor the victims of the attack on the Pentagon and their families, and pay tribute to those who responded to that attack as well as those who serve, organized a walk from the Pentagon to the National Mall. Nearly 15,000 people took part. Now, America Supports You Freedom Walks are taking place in communities across the nation.
The Jackson Area Chamber of Commerce invites you to participate in our walk on September 11, 2010 at the Jackson Covered Bridge Route 16 side at T/B/A. The first 50 walkers to arrive will receive a T Shirt, a candle and a flag. Volunteers to carry the beautiful huge flag pictured here should call the Chamber office prior to the day of the event at 603-383-9356.
Immediately following the Freedom Walk there will be a gathering and the breaking of bread in keeping with tradition Christmas Farm Inn & Spa will be hosting the BBQ again this year. This BBQ and entertainment is free to all Active Military, Police, Fire & Rescue Personnel. Pricing for all others T/B/A. Please check back for further details.
