#Spirit of America 9/11 Memorial by John Jackson

[rabbitcruiser]

Spirit of America 9/11 Memorial, Cashmere, WA (No. 4)

Wherever you were on Sept. 11, 2001, Americans from coast to coast were affected by the terrorist attacks unleashed on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, even if they had no personal connection.

That’s why John Jackson — a Tenino metal worker, U.S. Army veteran and owner of Jackson Field Welding Services, Inc. — was confused and frustrated when, after years of working with Washington state officials to get a 9/11 memorial placed on the Capitol campus in Olympia, he was suddenly told the memorial had no significance to the state in 2011.

Eventually, the memorial found a home in Cashmere in Central Washington in 2015.

The bronze statue features a firefighter, a military service member, a flight attendant and an office worker standing around the footprint of the Twin Towers, joined in hands facing outwards in a semi circle, signaling a missing person.

“To complete the memorial, you actually have to join in and hold hands,” Jackson said. “I wanted to be able to say it represented every single human being on the planet. If you feel like you’re not represented, then you can stand there.”   

Back in November 2001, Jackson created the Spirit of America Memorial Foundation to build a memorial.

[...]

Located at Riverside Park in Cashmere, the memorial was officially dedicated in 2015 and stands there permanently. Aside from the bronze statues, the memorial includes the pieces of the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, Twin Tower statues, a Flight 93 memorial and reflection benches.

Rory Gimore Reading Challenge

I put it there has a reminder to myself that I want to read more (so much more). The public library will be more accessible to me when I am going to be where I’m moving this summer, so, no excuses. Even if I should really work on my art more than on my reading. Would be nice if it could help me feel less... inadequate. Somehow. Just a little.

Spirit of America 9/11 Memorial, Cashmere, WA (No. 3)

A focal point is four life-sized, bronze statues.

The statues represent and honor different genders, races, professions, and everyday citizens who gave their lives unselfishly. They include:

● A MILITARY SERVICE PERSON, representing all the services that were affected at the World Trade Center and Pentagon, including those who died and those currently serving

● A FIREMAN, representing all first responders including police, security, and emergency Medical personnel

● An OFFICE WORKER, representing the managers, support staff, cooks and maintenance personnel that were the heart and soul of these buildings

● A FLIGHT ATTENDANT, representing all the crew and passengers

One symbolic figure is missing from the circle of life-size statues, with only two bronze footprints remaining. This pays tribute to those who died and those whose bodies will never be recovered. It also allows the public to interact with the statues by standing on the footprints and grasping their outstretched open hands, thus completing the circle and symbolizing the unity of our nation.

Unity vs. Uniformity

(Originally published in September  2016)

Where were you when the world stopped turning on that September day? Were you in the yard with your wife and children Or working on some stage in L.A.? Did you stand there in shock at the sight of that black smoke Risin' against that blue sky? Did you shout out in anger, in fear for your neighbor Or did you just sit down and cry? Did you weep for the children who lost their dear loved ones And pray for the ones who don't know? Did you rejoice for the people who walked from the rubble And sob for the ones left below? Did you burst out in pride for the red, white and blue And the heroes who died just doin' what they do? Did you look up to heaven for some kind of answer And look at yourself and what really matters?

    If you’re over the age of 14 or 15, I’m sure you do remember where you were and what you were doing on that fateful day fifteen years ago on September 11, 2001. I was on my way to work when I got a flat tire, had to pull over and change it, and decided to go home and not risk driving any farther on my cheap spare. The moment I got home, the phone rang and both my wife and mother were calling me, saying: “turn on the TV.” And so it began. For the next four or five hours I sat there in numbness, shock and horror, watching buildings fall, seeing people jump out of buildings as they burned, hearing terrifying reports of other planes crashing, and seeing the palpable fear in the eyes of New Yorkers everywhere.  I wept, I prayed, and I cried out to God, asking Him to please make this all stop.  It was a dark day that I’ll never forget. My grandparent’s generation will always remember the day of the Pearl Harbor attacks, my parent’s generation will always remember the day of President Kennedy’s assassination, and many people in my generation remember the day when the Challenger space shuttle exploded.  But all of us will remember 9-11, the day when, as Alan Jackson sang, “the world stopped turning.”

 And yet, when we look back at that time, we realize that not all our memories were bad ones.  Of course, the horror and the evil of those despicable acts of cowardly terrorism will always be a big part of our remembrances. But we also remember the heroes of 9-11: the policemen, firemen, and rescue workers who put their lives on the line, and even sacrificed their lives to save others, as well as the brave passengers of United Flight 93 in Pennsylvania who gave their lives so that others would be safe.  We remember our Senators and Representatives, Democrats and Republicans alike, holding hands on the steps of the Capitol and singing “God Bless America.”  We remember people doing whatever they could to help: donating blood, giving money, holding candlelight vigils, and Christians standing up to defend American Muslims who were being harassed and their mosques defaced and vandalized.  Most of all, we remember an incredible spirit of unity as Americans put aside their differences and for a brief moment in time, were truly united.  I’ll never forget hearing two African-American gentlemen talking to each other during those days and one saying to the other: “It’s like there isn’t any more ‘black folks’ and ‘white folks’ anymore. We’re all just ‘Americans’ now.”  Amazing.

It was in those scary but amazing times that we learned a special lesson about the power of community – of CO-UNITY.  It’s a lesson that we still need to be reminded of, and Christians still need to model for the rest of the world today. You know, there were many Americans who really hated seeing that time of unity in our history.  Not because they applauded what the terrorists had done, but because they completely distrusted the idea of national unity.  One person whom I knew back then told me: “When I see Americans holding hands and singing ‘God Bless America’ I can only think of one thing: Nazi Germany.”  To him, unity meant going down the road to fascism and blindly doing whatever the leader of the country told you to do.  I remember telling him: “That’s not the way it has to be”, and I still believe that.  Being in unity is not the same as uniformity.  It doesn’t mean that we must surrender our individualism, and that we must always agree.  Americans will always disagree about things, and that’s one of the beautiful things about freedom and democracy.  Likewise, in the church, Christians will disagree about various things: theology, style of worship, form of church government.  I don’t want the church I serve to be a place where everyone just agrees with me and does whatever I say – I always encourage people to speak their mind and dialogue about what they truly believe, even if it means disagreement.  But the point is always to work together towards a common goal or path and find ways in which we can always work together even if we still disagree about minor points.  A saying that has variously been attributed to Augustine, John Wesley, or other Christian leaders, but which still rings true no matter who said it first: “In the essentials (of our faith), we have unity, in the non-essentials we have liberty, and in all things we have charity” (which is love.)     Finally, we remember how for the first few weeks after 9/11 the churches were full of people coming to seek comfort and guidance and strength from God, but as the months went one and it seemed like life was “returning to normal”, so did church attendance drop back down to where it always seemed to be.  How sad that only in times of crisis do we turn to God and then forget about Him when the crisis seems to have passed.  During this month of September, I encourage you to come worship, learn and serve with us as we remember the past, reconnect with God, and rejoice in the fact that His mercy and grace is everlasting.

Abbot Library to host Poetry Salon

The Abbot Public Library will host a Poetry Salon about Lucille Clifton from 2 to 4 p.m. Jan. 22 at the library, 235 Pleasant St., Marblehead.

She is noted for saying much with few words. Poet Robin Becker commented on Clifton's lean style: "Clifton's poetics of understatement - no capitalization, few strong stresses per line, many poems totaling fewer than 20 lines, the sharp rhetorical question - includes the essential only." For Clifton, writing was "a way of continuing to hope ... perhaps, for me, it is a way of remembering I am not alone."

The creation of the 9/11 Spirit of America Memorial has truly been a labor of love from countless volunteers and the patriotic citizens of the City of Cashmere and the surrounding area. What began as a very modest proposal, blossomed into an extraordinary Memorial serving to honor and pay tribute to those who lost their lives on 9/11 and to help educate our children on the events that reshaped our country.

The Memorial was being offered by The Spirit of America Foundation to communities around Washington State. The Memorial includes a piece of structural steel from the 60th floor of one of the Twin Towers, an ornamental piece of limestone from the face of the Pentagon and four bronze statues, together representing all those who perished on September 11th, 2001. Today the Memorial also includes “The Survivor Tree” – a Callery Pear like the one pulled from the smoldering rubble of the World Trade site, and four granite monuments. The monuments are engraved with the names of each individual who perished on airplanes at each tragic site – Pentagon, World Trade Center site and Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
