This morning, members from and came together to clean up the Memorial Garden on Stricker Street. This space holds deep meaning for us—it’s a place of remembrance for Paul, Kelsey, and Kenny, whose lives were lost there, and a reminder of their ultimate sacrifice. Keeping it clean and cared for is one small way we continue to honor them.
We’d also like to thank and for their generous donations and support of this effort.
