July 7, 201313 yr Author There will be a memorial ceremony near Prescott AZ tomorrow morning,,Tuesday. In the past some blacksmiths have had a custom of ringing the anvil three times in honor of a passed smith. Tomorrow I will ring my anvil, 19 groups of three taps. In honor of these young men that were killed in the line of duty.
July 7, 201313 yr It was a sad sight to see the 19 go by at Carefree Highway and I-17 today on their way to Prescott. Many folks lined the side of the road with US flags and banners in their honor. We just happened to be on our way home from church so we were the second car back on the off ramp for east bound Carefree Highway. My wife and I prayed for the families of those 19 young men and for the one survivor, rough days ahead for them all. May they all feel the peace of God. Jerry & Eva
