On the 10th Anniversary of 9/11, the Putnam Valley Fire Department held a memorial ceremony at the Putnam Valley Town Park. More than 100 people gathered that morning to remember those who perished on 9/11. The eight heroes from Putnam County who made the ultimate sacrifice were honored and remembered; Christopher Blackwell of Putnam Lake, Daniel Harlin of Kent, Robert Minera of Carmel, Thomas Kuveikis of Kent and George Cain of Patterson—all members of the FDNY; Stephen Driscoll of Lake Carmel—a member of the NYPD Emergency Services Unit; David Fodor of Garrison—a tax accountant, and George Paris of Carmel, an employee of Cantor Fitzgerald.
