Bar Harbor, Maine – On Saturday, Oct. 14, 2017, four teams of 20 hikers will simultaneously summit Cadillac Mountain from the north, east, south and west to converge on Acadia National Park’s highest peak as part of The Summit Project, a unique living memorial that honors and pays special tribute to Maine’s post 9/11 fallen service members. The hikers – from all over Maine, will carry an engraved stone that was donated by the families of Maine’s fallen unearthed from a place significant to their loved one and uniquely represents them. TSP Founder, Major David J. Cote, USMC stated: “They will carry their stone for the hike, but carry their story for a lifetime, ensuring that Maine heroes are not forgotten.”
