Let's Come Together

I’ll bet you did a lot of remembering last week. Me too.

Saturday we had a moving discussion in Rockville, remembering one year since Charlie Kirk was assassinated and 25 years since the terrorists murdered so many Americans on 9/11. Packed room, great speakers and guests and of course our constant prayer of “never again.”

May this story inspire others to embody selfless courage and also say “Lets  Roll.” These were the words of Todd Beamer, one of the 2977 people lost 23  years ago. Although theSo much was local since Washington was also attacked, Todd Beamer saying, “Let’s roll...”, Rockville and townships throughout the county holding observances, I even spoke about Erika Kirk reliving the violence at the Washington Hilton's Correspondents' Dinner - through yet another assassination attempt on the President, weeping as she was led out, fearing she might not be able to hug her kids again.

We pledge to each other to stop the political violence, tone down the hateful rhetoric and talk ideas, solutions, and return to normalcy. It’s what we all pray for.
