#HappyMemorialDay to all of my friends, family, & social media followers!! A special thank you goes out to the veterans (both past and present) for dedicating their time to serve & protect our country! God bless the U.S.A.! After spending my Memorial Day working with my clients, I decided to pay homage to the veterans and my relatives that had served our country during my first visit to the Col. Albert Pawling Memorial Park in the City of Troy,NY while taking in the beauty of the Postenkill Falls!! I learned that Albert Pawling is not only a Colonel that had served during the Revolutionary War, but he was also a businessman, became the first sherif for the Rensselaer County's Sherif's Department, and was the first Mayor of the City of Troy,NY!! It was a beautiful day to honor and learn about Pawling's history and his service to New York State, especially in the Capital Region, while paying homage to my relatives and veterans that have protected our country in this pretty park! Happy Memorial Day!! Be sure to check out this park during your drive through Troy! (Selected photos by Amy L.
