To the Editor:

On Aug. 30, The SandPaper published an informative article encouraging readers to register for the annual LBI Commemorative 18 Mile Run set for Columbus Day weekend.

For the past 50 years, as the article pointed out, the race has honored the 11 Israeli athletes who were murdered by terrorists at the Munich Olympics in 1973 and the thousands of workers, firefighters and police who were killed and/or injured in the World Trade Center terrorist attack on Sept. 11, 2011.
