Non-profit Give2Those invites the community to its fifth and final Stride and Ride Relay on Monday, October 4th at 1 PM. The event will take place at the Middletown WTC Memorial Gardens where they will be leading a silent

Capriotti was known as the “keeper of the list” of the residents we lost and personally notified every family who lost a loved one that day.
Please consider joining this tribute to honor those who lost their lives on 9/11, individuals who suffer from military service-related injuries/illnesses or the invisible wounds of war, as well as show support for those currently serving, our veterans, first responders and their families. |
