Good weekend to have it with Weather Fest going on. Unfortunately we have plans and can't make it down, but I'll be sure to stop and pay my respects when I'm out there next spring or sooner.
 
Thanks for posting the detail photos @Jason Boggs they fill the gaps the video doesn't grab, and the video of the event itself @James Menzies. I watched it the next day and it was just heart wrenching yet inspiring at the same time. For those of us who couldn't be there in person, these helped to make us feel the special aire that was this event. Major thanks to the donors and the organizers who made this memorial a reality in the first place.
 
Many thanks for the pictures - my girlfriend and I visited the site back in May and were both very emotional - it was actually quite surprising, in one sense, how much the emotions suddenly surfaced when we got there (of course, really it's not surprising, but I didn't know how I'd feel until we reached the spot).
