As America prepares to celebrate its 250th birthday, Northern New York stands proud as a place where patriotism, service, and community remain strong every day. From the history rooted across the North Country to the men and women serving today at, our region continues to play a vital role in defending the freedoms that define this nation.
The soldiers of the 10th Mountain Division represent the courage, sacrifice, and resilience that have shaped America for 250 years. Their commitment, alongside the support of families, veterans, and local communities across Jefferson, Lewis, and St. Lawrence counties, reminds us that the spirit of America lives strong right here in Northern New York.
As we approach this historic milestone, let us honor our past, celebrate our present, and look ahead with pride, unity, and gratitude for all who serve. Happy 250th America — from Fort Drum and the North Country to the entire nation.
