Today was such a special day. The Freedoms Foundation at Valley Forge chose Youth of Promise to receive the National George Washington Honor Medal for the 9/11 Memorial we built in Kaysville, Utah!
It was such an honor for me to attend the award ceremony at the Little America today. I'm so grateful the memorial that hosts the names of hundreds of loved ones from Utah killed on 9/11, and the war following has been given the recognition these families deserve.
So grateful to have been a part of this project, and for the amazing people I've been blessed to work with.
The memorial is located at 920 South 50 West, Kaysville, Utah.
Some of the amazing people I worked with! Margaret Wahlstrom, Margaret Brough, Karlene Kidman, Me, Haeley, and Brett Lund.
Me in the Little America Ball Room! We had a wonderful lunch and program, including a speech from the Lt. Governor.

Do you know this guy? He is the guy from Freedom Rides. He also received an award.
I hate being interviewed by the news... so intimidating. You never know how they will clip your comments to make you look like a goof! It was also an honor though too...

What an honor to be a part of something so wonderful!
