9/11 Spirit of America

We are heartbroken that Charlie Kirk was assassinated on a college campus in Utah yesterday. Such a fine young man who loved free speech and loved his God, family and country. So senseless and evil. May God comfort and hold his wife, children and family.  Praying this senseless act causes change in the political rhetoric of hate. I don’t know what else to say.

Today is 9/11 and one of the most moving memorials we’ve seen was in Cashmere, Washington and I wanted to share it again on this anniversary.

God Bless America, Land that I love, Stand beside her and guide her thru the night with a light from above.

From the mountains, to the prairies, to the oceans white with foam. God bless America, My home, sweet home.

This to date has been the most elaborate memorial we have seen in remembrance of all the lives lost on that tragic day in 2001, a day we all remember as 9/11. The Official County of Chelan Memorial of 9/11 called 9/11 Spirit of America Memorial and The Cashmere Veterans War Memorial are both on this site.

“We Must Never Forget”

14 Years Later…

…still remembering.

Fourteen years since that day that I will never forget. On that day I found the flag my mother-in-law was presented with at my father-in-law’s funeral at the Riverside National Cemetery in 1985. It was the only thing I could think of doing on that day where we all sat glued to the television. At the first attack I was awake alone watching T.V. in unbelief and horror. Dear was at work. Josh and Laura were at their apartment having just been married at the end of August. Dan and Katie were still at home and I woke them up to watch the news. My niece was working in Manhattan and we were all very concerned for her safety.

Where were you on that day?
