GORHAM — This week, for four nights, two powerful beams of light will rise into the night sky from the summit of the of 6,288-foot Mount Washington as a 25th anniversary tribute to 9/11, honoring the veterans, firefighters, first responders, and others who have dedicated their lives to serving and protecting others.
Gov. Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.) was scheduled to be in Conway on Wednesday for the kickoff to the “Honor Summit” event symbolizing the attacks on the twin towers of the World Trade Center when two hijacked airliners struck the morning of Sept. 11, 2001.
