A memorial to the 20 first graders and six educators killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting opened to the public Sunday, a month before the 10th anniversary of the massacre.

Flowers lay next to the name of Charlotte Bacon, carved in the stone of a memorial dedicated to the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, in Newtown, Conn., Sunday, Nov. 13, 2022.

“It just takes your breath away,” Nora Smith said. “It’s something that you hold close to your heart because you feel so bad for these families.” The memorial was designed as a peaceful place of contemplation. Paths with a variety of plantings lead to a water feature with a sycamore tree in the middle and the victims' names engraved on the top of a surrounding supporting wall.

“It took my breath away in the sense that to see Catherine’s name and to see what has been created in honor of those that lost ... the families, those that survived — they’ve lost their innocence," she said."And the community. We all suffered because of Dec. 14. “Ten years. A lifetime and a blink,” she wrote. “Ana Grace, we used to wait for you to come home. Now you wait for us. Hold on, little one. Hold on.”

Just a reminder, Uvalde voters just reelected the same evil fools that promote gun violence in Texas. Still can't believe 88% of Uvalde reelected the same governor who was in office during this incident and his sympath was 'it could of been worse'. I sympathize for the deceased but not for the citizens of uvalde..well maybe 12% of them.
